Last November, the HBS California Research Center celebrated its fifth anniversary with a festive gathering at Accel Partners’ Palo Alto office. As the School’s first off-site research center, the CRC laid the groundwork for subsequent offices in Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Paris, and Tokyo. Since its inception in 1997, the CRC has produced 109 cases and 29 additional teaching materials. It has also worked on a variety of research projects and often acts as the West Coast representative for the School.
To thank outgoing CRC steering committee chairman Arthur Rock (MBA ’51), CRC executive director Christina L. Darwall (MBA ’75) and her staff wrote a mock case about Rock, a legendary founding father of the venture capital industry. Rock, who was presented with the framed case by Dean Kim B. Clark, passed the chairmanship on to James W. Breyer (MBA ’87), managing partner at Accel.
Meanwhile, across the Pacific, the Japan Research Office officially opened in Tokyo last December. The office, part of the School’s Global Initiative, provides assistance for faculty conducting research in the region.
