Case Study

He may be a Harvard dropout, but Mark Zuckerberg is now the main character in a Harvard Business School case. His company, Facebook, "had grown from just a few friends programming around a kitchen table to a full-fledged technology business with over 100 employees and 7.4 million users," says Harvard's summary of the case. "Zuckerberg would have to develop an organizational strategy that could allow the company to keep up with its underlying growth metrics, while ensuring Facebook's consumer experience was better than its alternatives." The case is available for anyone interested in combing through the issues, either on paper or electronically, for $6.50 a copy. (Hey, Harvard has to make a living, too.)
