IIT Powai alumnus Nitin Nohria is all set to assume his role as dean of the prestigious Harvard Business School here starting Thursday.
Nohria is the first Indian-origin dean in the school’s 102-year-old history. The school had announced in May that Nohria will succeed Jay Light as the 10th dean and will take up his new role on July 1.
Member of the HBS faculty since 1988, Nohria has previously been the school’s senior associate dean for faculty development and chair of its organisational behaviour unit.
He is current co-chair of the HBS Leadership Initiative. “I feel a profound sense of responsibility for continuing Harvard Business School’s proud legacy of groundbreaking ideas and transformational educational experiences,” Nohria had said after his appointment.
With business education at an inflection point, we must strive to equip future leaders with the competence and character to address emerging global business and social challenges,” he added.
Nohria received his bachelor of technology degree in chemical engineering in 1984 from IIT Mumbai and later did his Ph.D. and management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management.

Lieberman: No Palestine state by ’12
AMY TEIBEL
JERUSALEM

June 30: Israel’s hardline foreign minister said that there was “no chance” a Palestinian state would be established by 2012 — a message that threatened to cloud the latest visit by US President Barack Obama’s West Asia envoy. The comments by foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman drew swift Palestinian condemnations and could put Israel at odds with the internatio-nal community, which has set a 2012 target for brokering a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
“As an optimist, I see no chance that a Palestinian state will be established by 2012,” Mr Lieberman said at a press conference. “We can express interest, we can dream, but in reality, we are still far from reaching understandings and agreements on establishing an independent state by 2012.”
