Our country has access to flat-out the best

There's no other system you'd rather be in than the US health

And as a result, it is even more incumbent on the US health care

that our health care system needs a very, very large dose

A lot of my research looks at the importance of familiarity

You would be amazed, in looking at a typical hospital

in the United States, as to how infrequently surgical teams

So research is absolutely central to the work

of the school, because when people come here,

they come not just to hear what was true 20 years ago.

They want to find out how is the world changing.

to influence the world that I'm going to inhabit as a business

And it's that restlessness about thinking hard about where

business should be going that is the heart

of what the research is that we do here at Harvard Business

HBS is a fantastic environment for researchers and educators

who are really interested in marrying insights

from the real world to academic research.

You can really contact people out in the field

Well, HBS is unique among business schools

in terms of the way its faculty is organized.

While we do have units in finance and accounting,

and strategy and organizational behavior,

is that most of these problems are really complex.

is to begin to approach them with multiple lenses

I do a lot of research on competition and consolidation.

in terms of their dialysis, as well as in terms

The article that we wrote for the Harvard Business Review

dealt with what are called enterprise IT systems.

So the point of our article is they're not just simply

But they're actually about improving care delivery

When I teach at HBS about US health care strategy,

students come up to me after and start talking

And a number of them go on to join entrepreneurial ventures

to handling problems of the health care industry.

The real work lies in influencing the practitioners

who they're talking about, who they're trying to study,

And having a commitment to taking their work

beyond a conversation with each other into the real world

hope to have every one of our scholars bring to the world.
