MBA ニュース：Harvard University Appoints Jodi Goldstein New Managing Director of I-Lab

Harvard Business School (HBS) has appointed Jodi Goldstein, a long-time investor and entrepreneur, will become Harvard i-lab’s new Evans Family Foundation Managing Director this June.

Last year she spearheaded the Launch Lab, a business incubator for Harvard alumni, which is putting Allston, MA—where the i-lab is located—on the map as a solutions-centered hub swirling with interdisciplinary collaboration.

Goldstein has been a high-tech entrepreneur and investor for the past 15 years, with a focus on innovative consumer technologies. With industry expertise in consumer, e-commerce, mobile, social networking and luxury goods, she’s been on the management team of several venture-backed startups including iMarket (sold to D&B), Planetall (sold to Amazon for more than $100M), Send.com, Hoteluxury.com and Mobicious. 

Most recently, she was a co-founder of Drync, a mobile app for wine (a 2011 MassChallenge winner). She’s also an HBS alumna.

MBA 二ユース：ハーバード・ビジネス・スクール Introduces Coding

Harvard Business School is planning to offer a computer programming elective within the next few years since students have formed coding clubs, and dozens take the introductory computer science class at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.

Coding skills are going to become increasingly important over the next 10-20 years, the school believes.

Elite MBA programs have been slow to adapt, though some schools have started specialized master’s programs in big data and analytics. A pair of springtime reports by the Graduate Management Admission Council revealed a disconnect between the skills MBA programs give students and what employers want. 

U.S. employers said they coveted “technical and quantitative skills” third out of 10 criteria.

Companies need managers who know the basics of code to work with technical staff, who can understand data and be technically conversant.

At New York University’s Stern School of Business, economics professor David Backus plans to start a course that will teach students how to visualize data and use the programming language, Python.

Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business has no coding classes. But students have been able to take computer science courses at the university since fall 2012. Last year, the B-school and the School of Engineering launched a joint degree that confers an MBA and an MS in computer science.

One downside of learning to code at B-school: Coding is hard. HBS students who took the university’s introductory computer science course said that they spent 16.3 hours a week on the course.
