In regards to his Harvard presentation, Bill says "The fact that we are in the 4th case study is very significant. The reception at Harvard Business School was well received by several hundred people in attendance. It was an overwhelming response, and I am proud of the fact that in the history of Harvard Business School's review of case studies, only two US companies, Manchester Bidwell Corporation and Apple Computer were singled out for four case studies." Bill also added, "the students really tackled the process like they were scaling a good business idea, they wanted to explore ways to look at leadership, funding, consistency and other important business qualities."
Stuart added, “We will teach the case to all 930 first year MBA students at Harvard. We have the very good fortune of having Bill join us to help teach the case.”
