CNBC’s morning business show, Squawk Box, set up on Baker Lawn September 16 for a live broadcast that tapped faculty and alumni views on the U.S. economy. Host Carl Quintanilla and University Professor Michael Porter, who served as cohost, talked with Dean Nitin Nohria about restoring public trust in business. Later, Dan Smith (MBA ’76), president and CEO of Sycamore Networks, and Steve Pagliuca (MBA ’82), managing director of Bain Capital, discussed their views on how government regulations put U.S. businesses at a disadvantage in global markets.
