Kim B. Clark is dean of the faculty at Harvard Business School and the George F. Baker Professor of Administration. A member of the Harvard faculty since 1978, Professor Clark received his bachelor's (1974), master's (1977) and doctorate (1978) degrees in economics from Harvard University.
Since his appointment as dean in 1995, Clark has brought many changes to the school, including an $11 million transformation to an integrated online curriculum. The technological changes were an integral part of the Harvard Business School's goal of to enrich its course offerings and increase the international content of its case studies. In addition, opportunities for technology in the classroom and off-campus learning have increased greatly during Clark's tenure.
Clark's research is focused on modularity in design and the integration of technology and competition in industry evolution, with a particular focus on the computer industry. He has co-authored many books, including Design Rules: The Power of Modularity, with Carliss Baldwin; Leading Product Development: The Senior Manager's Guide to Creating and Shaping the Enterprise, with S.C. Wheelwright; and The Perpetual Enterprise Machine: Seven Keys to Corporate Renewal through Successful Product and Process Development, with H.K. Bowen, C. Holloway, and S.C. Wheelwright.
Born and raised in Utah, Clark is a devout Mormon and was once a church bishop. At the age of 19, he spent two years in Germany as a missionary for the Mormon Church.
Clark and his wife, Sue, have seven children.
