Biography
The research and teaching interests of Mark Lehrer fall at the intersection of high technology, strategy and international business. As a Fulbright scholar to Germany and Israel in 2020 (extended to 2021 due to the pandemic), Professor Lehrer shuttled back and forth between Potsdam/Berlin and Tel Aviv/Jerusalem to study the construction of high-tech media hub around film studios and other cultural institutions. Professor Lehrer has developed a unique MBA course, MBA 710 Understanding World Class Clusters, which focuses on the special economics and social relations of large metropolitan areas like Boston. He has circa 50 peer-reviewed publications covering a wide variety of subjects around the topics of R&D, innovation, German business, family firms, and multinational corporations. He is also the author of the weekly Wall Street Journal Instructor’s Review in Strategic Management, accessible and delivered online to hundreds of management educators who adopt the Wall Street Journal in their classes.
