Glass-Shattering Leaders: Ana Paula Pessoa
by Boris Groysberg Colleen AmmermanAna Paula Pessoa built a career at the largest media conglomerate in Latin America, combining a passion for digital transformation with a commitment to doing work that had a posititve impact on society. Having grown up during a dictatorial miltary regime in Brazil, the value of a free press was clear to Pessoa. She ultimately rose to become CFO of the company's print media arm, before making a career shift to invest in technology startups and later to serve as CFO for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Throughout her varied career, Pessoa sought out connections with interesting people across industries, a practice that paid dividends when she was recruited to join the board of a large public company, which led to additioanl board appointments. Following her passions and building relationships enabled Pessoa to craft a fulfilling career spanning multiple industries and issues.
Glass-Shattering Leaders: Barbara Hackman Franklin
by Boris Groysberg Colleen AmmermanBarbara Hackman Franklin was one of the first women to earn an MBA from Harvard Business School. She went on to break barriers in the private and public sectors, rising to leadership positions in business and government. In the 1970s, she led a successful White House initiative to hire more women into high-level roles, helping to change the makeup of the federal workforce and advance the national conversation about women's roles in public life.
Glass-Shattering Leaders: Jack Rivkin
by Boris Groysberg Colleen AmmermanJack Rivkin's innovative approach to hiring, developing, and retaining employees created opportunities for female analysts to thrive at the equity research department he led, and also made the entire department more effective. Rivkin fostered a culture of gender inclusion and focused on developing the unique strengths of every employee, rather than expecting women to fit a rigid masculine norm. His efforts led to an increase in the department's female analysts and also resulted in more analysts (both women and men) achieving star-ranked status. In just a few years, the department jumped from 15th to 1st placed in industry rankings. However, when Rivkin departed, the overarching culture and practices of the firm undermined the inclusive environment he had fostered; high-performing analysts departed and the department rapidly tumbled in the rankings.
Glass-Shattering Leaders: Michele Hooper
by Boris Groysberg Colleen AmmermanMichele Hooper joined the board of the Dayton-Hudson Corporation when she was in her late thirties, becoming the company's youngest director as well as the only woman and the only person of color in the boardroom. Such "firsts" were not unusual for Hooper, who had been tapped to lead the Canadian subsidiary of Baxter International a year earlier, one of very few women moved from a staff to a line role at the company. More board opportunities continued to come Hooper's way, and over time she gained expertise and experience across all aspects of corporate governance, often serving as a lead director or committee chair. Seeing that too few women, and far too few men and and women of color, were breaking into the boardroom, Hooper cofounded the Directors' Council to help companies diversity their boards. Widely acknowledged as a a leader in corporate governance, Hooper dedicated herself to serving as a role model and mentor for Black professionals aspiring to leadership.
Glass-Shattering Leaders: Ros Atkins
by Boris Groysberg Colleen AmmermanRos Atkins launched the 50:50 Project on a BBC news program her anchored, deciding with his team to start tracking the gender of the contributors and experts featured on the show. Before long, it was clear that monitoring the data led to increased awareness of a gender gap which in turn spurred action - the represenation of women and men equalized. Atkins knew the simple process could have a signficinat impact, so he worked with colleagues to implement the project throughout the BBC. Rather than try to institute a mandate or directive from the top, Atkins took a grassroots approach, sharing the process and its success with colleagues personally. More and more programs adopted the effort, and ultimately the head of the BBC publicly endorsed it. Over time, 50:50 became a self-sustaining program adpoted across the entire organization and beyond. Atkins dedication to gender equality in the media offers a compelling example of the potential that lies with male allies.
GlaxoSmithKline: Sourcing Complex Professional Services
by Heidi K. Gardner Silvia Hodges SilversteinPharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) uses an innovative new approach to procuring outside legal counsel: it replaces relationship-based selection and law firms' traditional time-based billing with data-driven decision making and an online reverse auction. In the case, GSK is hit with a potentially devastating suit and must hire a firm in time to respond. The recently hired managing attorney, Sophia Keating, grapples with GSK's approach. The GSK veterans assure her that the approach drives down costs and improves the quality of work by systematically increasing the rigor in the procurement process. Still skeptical, Sophia runs the process of systematically analyzing and comparing the competing firms' bids. This case also describes the process by which these tools were created and adopted. Beyond the implications for law firms and other service providers, lessons from this case are applicable for teaching about institutional change, procurement processes relevant to many fields, and how to increase rigor in typically informal business processes.

GlaxoSmithKline: Reorganizing Drug Discovery (A)
by Eli Peter Strick Robert S. HuckmanDescribes the reorganization of drug discovery at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) following the formation of GSK from the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham. This reorganization placed nearly 2,000 research scientists into six centers of excellence in drug discovery (CEDD). Each CEDD focused on a small set of therapeutic areas and possessed decision rights over the progression of pharmaceutical compounds through the early stages of development. Describes the proposed structure for the CEDDs and their relationship to remaining centralized departments within GSK's R&D organization. Addresses issues about the benefits of focus vs. diversification in R&D, the role of decentralized vs. coordinated decision making, and the importance of alignment between the structural and infrastructural (e.g., performance incentives) aspects of an operating model. Using the empirical context of mergers in the pharmaceutical industry, the case allows students to build broader insights about the interaction between organizational form and operating performance.

GlaxoSmithKline in Brazil: Public-Private Vaccine Partnerships
by Arthur A. Daemmrich Ian Mckown CornellThree years into a major public-private partnership between GlaxoSmithKline and Fiocuz, Brazil's principal health institute, the company assesses technology transfer and joint research under the agreement. GSK was selling its Synflorix vaccine (against pediatric pneumonia) at fixed prices even as it transferred technology and know-how to Brazil for eventual domestic production. At the same time, GSK was co-sponsoring research into a new vaccine for Dengue fever with the Brazilian government. GSK's management must consider whether the PPP provides strategic advantage to its consumer healthcare businesses in Brazil and to access other emerging markets as well as the risks posed by the aggressive product obsolescence built into the technology transfer agreement.
GlaxoSmithKline in China (A)
by Margaret Rodriguez John A. QuelchFour GlaxoSmithKline employees were accused of bribing Chinese health care workers to prescribe the company's drugs. The accusations brought to light the questionable incentive structures of the Chinese health care system and the pressure on companies to adhere to local customs while still observing local laws.
GlaxoSmithKline in China (B)
by Margaret Rodriguez John A. QuelchIn 2013, Chinese investigators detained four GSK employees for allegedly bribing health care staff to sell GSK pharmaceuticals. A month later, GSK's Asia Pacific regional president, Abbas Hussain, said the company would help identify corrupt practices. Two days later, GSK's CEO, Andrew Witty, called the allegations "shameful" and said the company would use the opportunity to "make changes."

Gleanings of Freedom: Free and Slave Labor along the Mason-Dixon Line, 1790-1860
by Max GrivnoLate eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century landowners in the hinterlands of Baltimore, Maryland, cobbled together workforces from a diverse labor population of black and white apprentices, indentured servants, slaves, and hired workers. This book examines the intertwined lives of the poor whites, slaves, and free blacks who lived and worked in this wheat-producing region along the Mason-Dixon Line. Drawing from court records, the diaries, letters, and ledgers of farmers and small planters, and other archival sources, Max Grivno reconstructs how these poorest of southerners eked out their livings and struggled to maintain their families and their freedom in the often unforgiving rural economy.
Gleichwertige Lebensverhältnisse: Passgenaue Maßnahmen zur Entwicklung strukturschwacher Regionen
by Jonas König Hanna Willwacher Torge Ziemer Zarina Feller Axel Piesker Colin Delargy Jan Ziekow Lech Suwala Hans-Hermann Albers Janet Merkel Jan PorthDie Schaffung gleichwertiger Lebensverhältnisse war ein zentrales Anliegen der Bundesregierung in der 19. Legislaturperiode. Zwei zentrale, nach wie vor gültige Ziele, die Stärkung der Fachkräftebasis und der Innovationskraft in strukturschwachen Regionen, können vor allem dann erreicht werden, wenn regionale Akteure Fördermaßnahmen selbst ausgestalten und an die Gegebenheiten vor Ort anpassen. Das ist ein Ergebnis des Projekts „Gleichwertige Lebensverhältnisse: Passgenaue Maßnahmen zur Entwicklung strukturschwacher Regionen“, das das Deutsche Forschungsinstitut für öffentliche Verwaltung und die Technische Universität Berlin im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie durchgeführt haben.
