The questions throughout this booklet reflect some of the ways Boston University School of Management alumni have transformed academic experience into professional results. Curiosity is a positive force, because good management is about exploring, not accepting. It's about revision, refinement, and rethinking rather than regurgitation. It's a matter of taking the heat rather than taking shelter. It's a career of challenging yourself and your employees continually to improve the quality of your products and service. And it's the kind of management you'll learn at Boston University

This result is particularly striking given that industry participants expected coordination on one standard or the other. We speculate about the role of ISP differentiation in preventing the market from achieving standardization until a government organization intervened
