Ahead of the Curve

This book was, unfortunately, rather disappointing. As a graduate of the University of Denver's MBA program, I was excited to read this book because I'd hoped it would glean some insight into the highly selective, greatly sought after experience at HBS. Although Broughton gave a fair amount of that, it was often punctuated by long stretches of academic material that seemed ripped from a business textbook. I suppose that one should expect some material like this, given that Broughton is recounting his experiences in business school; however, a true account of “Two Years at Harvard Business School” would, I think, focus a bit more on Harvard itself and not devote multiple pages to an explanation of Michael Porter's numerous frameworks.
