The Book Launch Event will have two parts: 5:00-6:00PM: Founder Insights Workshop led by Prof. Wasserman - Spangler Auditorium 6:00-7:30PM: Book Launch Reception - Williams Room (Spangler Center 1st Floor) Noam will lead a workshop session from 5:00-6:00 featuring the stories and quantitative research at the core of his award-winning HBS course and new book. The workshop will be followed by a reception in the Williams Room. Both events are open to all. Publisher'\;s Weekly calls The Founder'\;s Dilemmas a "\;seminal work.... Sure to be required reading in business school curricula\, this illuminating and captivating read will also appeal to aspiring entrepreneurs or founders who want to make better decisions in existing ventures."\; The Founder'\;s Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup\, will be published in March by Princeton University Press.  Both The Founder’s Dilemmas (the book) and Founders’ Dilemmas (the course) provide a roadmap for founders about the most common pitfalls they will face.  The book and course integrate Noam’s research results\, quantitative data collected over the last decade from 10\,000 founders\, case studies\, and conceptual frameworks.  Since 2000\, he has been the lead researcher on the annual CompStudy survey of technology and life-sciences startups\, which has become the most comprehensive survey of compensation for top management at private companies in the U.S. (and is now expanding to include China\, India\, Israel\, and England).  Noam is one of three members of the core faculty of the Kauffman Foundation’s Global Scholars program\, and he has delivered numerous keynote addresses to meetings of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO)\, venture capital retreats\, entrepreneurship conferences\, and other groups.   There is paid parking available in the HBS lot\, and some street parking available nearby.\n When: Wednesday\, March 21\, 2012 from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM\n Where: Spangler Center at HBS (Auditorium and Williams Rm)\n Attendees: 5 http://plancast.com/p/a7ti URL:http://plancast.com/p/a7ti CATEGORIES:Sales,Books,Entrepreneurship LOCATION:Spangler Center at HBS (Auditorium and Williams Rm) DTSTAMP:20120303T063356Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
