Harvard Theorist sees distance learning going a long way - D.C. Denison, Boston Globe
The foreign translations of his books fill four bookshelves just outside Michael E. Porter's office at the Harvard Business School: You can easily glean the word for ''competitive'' in 17 languages just from reading the spines. Porter is not doing so badly in English either. His ''Competitive Strategy,'' which was published in 1980 and which has become a must-read for MBA students, is in its 58th printing; ''Competitive Advantage,'' published five years later, is in its 34th printing. During the three years that Accenture has been tracking the most influential business thinkers worldwide, Porter has ranked number one every year... As it exists now, ''The Microeconomics of Competitiveness'' is taught at 17 universities in addition to Harvard. Internet technology is the enabler, allowing students and professors at business schools around the world to download case studies and view a wide variety of digital content, including lectures of Porter teaching the cases. There are also online discussion boards, workshop videos of professors discussing their experience teaching the classes, and videos of world leaders commenting on the issues under discussion.
