Video Clips
This library of video clips enables educators and others to search for relevant interview clips by subject, industry, country, or any combination of all three. Users can also search by name to find all clips from a specific interviewee. The clips may be downloaded for academic research, teaching, and other educational use. Any other use, including commercial reuse, web publishing, or other forms of redistribution, requires permission of Harvard Business School. These clips are now being used in a new series of Harvard Business School cases on emerging markets. The first two deal with corruption and innovation. Listen to our Cold Call podcast episode on the corruption case.
