Subject: Newsletter: HBS Cases--Beauty Entrepreneur Madam Walker
Editor's note: Please note that next week only, July 2nd through 6th, there
will be no newsletter and RSS feeds. The site will remain live but we won't be
able to update it. No, we're not going fishing. Harvard Business School is
going to experience a campus-wide "outage" of its network and applications so
that major electrical upgrades can take place. We look forward to resuming HBS
Working Knowledge on Tuesday, July 10. Thanks in advance for your
understanding.
