• 2026-05-05-nishar-nohria-end-of-one-size-fits-all — co-author with Deep Nishar of The End of One-Size-Fits-All Enterprise Software (HBR.org Digital, 23 April 2026). Argues that generative-ai dissolves the economic logic of standardized enterprise software; introduces the Build / Compose / Collaborate / Buy Outcomes four-model framework for the firm-boundary decision.

Open questions

• The May 2025 prior article with Nishar — the thesis the 2026 piece corrects on pace — is not yet in the wiki.
• Nohria’s broader management research; books and prior HBR pieces. As 10th HBS dean (2010–2020) he has substantial output — to be filled in as more sources reference him.
• Whether Harvard Business School should be promoted to an entity page (currently dangling); a 2nd HBS-affiliated author or HBS-published source would tip the case.
