Eight girls had first registered in the traditional MBA program in 1963 of Harvard Business School. By the year 2013, the number of women in MBA classroom had attained 40%. The 50th anniversary of the women’s induction in the conventional MBA program gave HBS Dean Nitin Nohria the chance to take stock of the progress that was made by HBS girls students and alumnae and ponder what remained to be accomplished.
The case scrutinizes the evolving knowledge of the male and female MBAs over the decades in the course of interviews with dozens of HBS alumni, and the understanding of female faculty at the School. The case examines numerous problems facing professional women, including shifting definitions of success and diversity, hurdles faced by girls on the job, the potential of work and family, and present-day inference for the channel of future women leaders. Students believe the function of the School in dealing with inequalities both on campus and in the broader business world.
