Should America Be Run By... Trader Joe's?

I'm honored to be featured on this week's episode of the Freakonomics podcast. They interviewed me regarding the research that I've conducted about Trader Joe's. For more information about my research on the company, you can check out my HBS case study (co-authored with David Ager) as well as Chapter 4 of my forthcoming book, Unlocking Creativity.

New Case Study about Trader Joe's

I am excited to announce that David Ager and I have published a new Harvard Business School case study about Trader Joe's. David is a senior fellow in Executive Education at HBS and a classmate of mine from graduate school. We are excited to publish this new case that examines the strategy, organization, and culture at Trader Joe's.
