A Beginning

December 13, 2010 by Zeynep Ton 2 Comments

I am writing this blog to start a conversation around several themes.  

The first theme is around my research interests in operations and labor management.  I have written extensively about retail operations and just started working on a book that argues for a better way for managing retail stores. 

The second theme is around community impact.  Through this blog, I want to start a conversation about what young leaders can do to maximize their impact on the world.  I am very proud of a new initiative we started at HBS this year. Both HARBUS and Harvard Crimson wrote about the initiative. 

The third theme is teaching. It is something I do with absolute joy. I am hoping to connect with educators on how to improve teaching and connect with my former and current students.

The final, and most important theme is family.  With two young children, I have the same challenges that many other working moms have.  So I look forward to sharing these and learning about yours!

    Dear Prof. Ton.

    excellent !! I am a EC student at HBS (class of 2011). really enjoying the social media initiative at HBS. I recently finished a half course with Prof. Eisenmann and our assignments were in blog posts. really refreshing.

    If i could make one suggestion. Please label your blogs, makes it for a very easy browse for readers by categories. I recently started doing that myself. Very effective.

    All the best
    Shavi
