''Founders' Dilemmas''
Wednesday, March 10, 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Founders' Dilemmas
Whenever we negotiate, our values
are put to the test. Our words and deeds reflect what we think we owe
our counterparts--if anything--in regard to candor, fairness, and the
possible use of pressure tactics. Professor Michael Wheeler, co-author
(with Carrie
Menkel-Meadow) of What’s Fair? Ethics for Negotiators, will discuss the challenge of preserving one’s own
integrity in world where we often have conflicting obligations and where
others may not be as scrupulous.
About Professor Noam Wasserman
At HBS, Noam Wasserman teaches a second-year MBA elective entitled, ''Founders' Dilemmas: Money and Power in Entrepreneurial Ventures,"
for which he was awarded the 2009 Faculty Teaching Award. The course
is based on his research over the last decade into the tough, early
choices that founders face that have important, long-term implications
for them and their ventures.
Noam's research on Founder Dilemmas
focuses on the tough, early decisions faced by founders that have
important, long-term implications for them and their ventures. Most
recently, his article on "The Founder's Dilemma" was featured in the February 2008 issue of Harvard Business Review.

His paper entitled, “Founder-CEO Succession and the Paradox of Entrepreneurial Success” was published in Organization Science in March-April 2003, and won Harvard's 2003 Aage Sorensen Memorial Award for sociological research. Noam's early draft of his “Rich versus King: The Entrepreneur's Dilemma” paper was featured in the Best Paper Proceedings of the 2006 Academy of Management Conference and of the 2005 Babson-Kauffman Research Conference, and his working paper on “Jumpstarting the Board” (co-authored with Warren Boeker) was featured in the Best Paper Proceedings of the 2005 Babson-Kauffman Research Conference.
