Bio:
I’m a former tenured professor at HBS who left in 1993 and did a lot of work in corporate reporting (including two books and a number of articles), among other things. The focus of my work here is critical information that goes beyond traditional accounting measures. I returned to HBS a year ago. More on the HBS website.
