Abstract: Abstract This chapter is exciting because it shows that teaching, especially at the Harvard Business School, played an important role in the early development of the discipline of International Business. The decision by Harvard Business School in 1973 to close the International Business group shows the fragility of non-mainstream subject area in a business school context. Business schools are driven by fads. Larger subjects and their faculty are gatekeepers to appointments and promotions, and shut out and marginalize smaller, newer and more innovative subject areas in favor of incumbent vested interests. Business schools are places where academic entrepreneurship goes to die.
