Perspectives on leadership. Commentary on the economy. Ideas you can use. Real-world expertise.

You’ll find all of that and more right here on the Wharton Blog Network.

The Wharton Blog Network is a new forum in which the Wharton community—faculty, alumni, friends and others—will be welcomed to share their thoughts, ideas and perspectives on everything from private equity to microfinance, banking regulation to the art of management. Here on the Network, you can read what Leonard Lodish, Wharton’s Samuel R. Harrell Professor, believes is the  key to success in venture capital. You can see what Assistant Professor of Operations and Information Management Uri Simonsohn has to say about overcoming “procrastination.” You can also enjoy unique perspectives from Wharton students, Dean Thomas Robertson, super-successful alumni and others.

We hope that you’ll enjoy reading the Network as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together. We also hope that you’ll offer us feedback by dropping us a note: magazine@wharton.upenn.edu.

Enjoy, everyone. And let the discussions begin.
