Short profiles of Prof. Nohria and his work: WSJ and FT.

    "Young Nohria spent time mixing chemicals and his teacher Arvind Kuchadkar would watch him and tell himself that the young lad was cut out for management."

    Amazing.

    @Fëanor: Good catch!

    The next sentence partly undoes the damage done in this one with a direct quote. Still, a good catch.
