While business schools are often very procedural in their teaching of entrepreneurial practices, there is only so much you can learn within the confines of a classroom. Certainly, theory is a critical component in contextualizing the art of buying and selling, but it is often not until theory can be applied that it is fully understood. What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School examines the pedagogical gaps in business instruction, encouraging students and new professionals to listen actively, do the unexpected, personalize communication, and effectively organize their time in order to achieve entrepreneurial success in our ever-changing society.
