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!

I came across your blog after reading an article about Mercadona on handelsblatt.com where you were quoted in.
I am looking forward to read more about retail industry.

March 21, 2011 at 9:25 pmDear 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
