Amar Bhide joins Columbia U

Vinay Kumar

Amar Bhidé, the former Harvard Business School associate professor who wrote Entrepreneurship, The Origin and Evolution of New Business, has been appointed to the Glaubinger professorship of business at Columbia University. He is the first to hold the professorship, according to a Columbia University press release.

Prof Bhide received both his MBA and DBA from Harvard Business School and was honoured as a Baker Scholar during his MBA.

Prof Bhide's Harvard course in 'entrepreneurship management and finance' and his University of Chicago course in 'new venture strategy' have provided the basis for various entrepreneurship courses at other major business schools.

A former senior engagement manager at McKinsey & Company, vice-president at E F Hutton, and associates fellow at HBS, Bhidé was on the staff of the Brady Commission, which investigated the stock market crash.

He earned a DBA (1988) and an MBA (1979) from Harvard Business School. He received a BTech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in 1977.

The Glaubinger professorship of business was endowed by Lawrence D Glaubinger (MBA '77), chairman of Stern and Stern Industries, Inc, and a member of the Columbia Business School board of overseers.
