Why Smart Executives Fail
And What You Can Learn From Their Mistakes
5:30 - 8:00 PM
(Networking and Registration 5:00 - 5:30 PM)

with Sydney Finkelstein, Tuck School of Management

Why do good companies keep getting into big trouble? Usually it seems that their top management made some incredibly stupid mistakes. But the people responsible are almost always highly intelligent and usually have terrific track records. So what's really going on?

Professor Sydney Finkelstein has carried out the largest research program ever devoted to business breakdowns. In Why Smart Executives Fail, he uncovers the specific, identifiable ways in which companies like Motorola, Rubbermaid, Mattel, Webvan and Enron regularly make themselves vulnerable to failure. The result is a truly indispensable, practical book that explains the mechanics of executive breakdowns, and how to spot them before they escalate.

Sydney Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School at Dartmouth College, where he teaches courses on Leadership, Top Management Teams, and Managing Mergers and Acquisitions. He joined the Tuck School in January 1994, after having been on the faculty at the Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Southern California. He has taught executive education at the Tuck School (where he serves as the Faculty Director of the flagship Tuck Executive Program), Northwestern, Duke, Bocconi, London Business School, Australian Graduate School of Management, and the Helsinki School of Economics. He holds a Masters degree in economics and industrial relations from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in strategic management.
