Bob ... Michael Porter .. It doesn't hurt to read it and I haven't. Actually, I did start and gave up. Too long ago. I have a daughter who graduated there. Did you read it, and what did you, actually, get out of it ? I think the most important thing of graduating from HBS is the connections. A Harvard professor once said, Harvard is very good in the admissions process. What they mainly do, is, expose them to each other, and afterwards they take credit for their accomplishments. That was actually better than my read: I asked my daughter, how many in your class ? 750. How many did not graduate ? 12 Hah ! I thought, they are good in picking the most competitive types. The thing to do is, to be admitted to the HBS, then not attend, but mention in your resume that you were admitted. But it was also pointed out to me that the fund raising would stop. So, I think the professor's explanation is a better one. They don't learn all that much there, imho. It's the stuff they are made of, to begin with, and the connections.
