In a new article, HBS Working Knowledge describes the way scholars and students are “unpack[ing] the digital business revolution.” In the article, professors involved in the HBS Digital Initiative, including Network member Karim Lakhani describe the new paradigm the initiative seeks to study.
“‘There’s a secular shift in the economy, and from a research perspective, more of the scholars HBS is attracting are studying digital,’ says Associate Professor Karim R. Lakhani, a member of D/I’sw faculty who also serves as principal investigator of the Crowd Innovation Lab at Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science. ‘The Digital Initiative gives us the space to collaborate and build a scholarly community that reflects what is happening in the broader world while creating new learning materials for students and practitioners.’”
