HBS faculty win McKinsey Awards

Three Harvard Business School professors, Gary P. Pisano, the Harry E. Figgie Jr. Professor of Business Administration; Willy C. Shih, professor of management practice; and Clayton M. Christensen, the Robert and Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration, were recently honored with 2009 McKinsey Awards, presented by the Harvard Business Review and the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

Pisano and Shih took first-place honors for their July-August 2009 article “Restoring American Competitiveness.” Second place went to Christensen and his co-authors, Jeffrey H. Dyer of Brigham Young University and Hal B. Gregersen of INSEAD (European Institute of Business Administration), for “The Innovator’s DNA,” which appeared in the December 2009 issue.

Established in 1959, the annual awards recognize the best articles published each year in the magazine.
