University, and the past president of the Academy of

use of technology. She took just two years to earn both her
PhD and AM in Business Economics from Harvard University,
which she was awarded in 1990. McGahan holds an MBA from the
Harvard Business School, where she received highest academic
honors as a Baker Scholar, and a BA from Northwestern
University, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She
also spent several years at both McKinsey & Company and

School of Management.
McGahan has taught courses in strategy and history to MBA
candidates, executives, and doctoral students at the University of Toronto,
Harvard Business School, London Business School and Boston University, where she
was elected by her students as Professor of the Year repeatedly. She is
consistently ranked as among the best faculty in every program in which she
teaches. She developed five new business-school courses (both required and
elective) between 1999 and 2006, each of which earned very high ratings and
achieved strong – even unprecedented – popularity. Colleagues who teach these
courses are also rated very highly by their students. As a result, McGahan has
been recognized as a master teacher for her dedication to the success of junior
faculty and for her leadership in course development. A passionate advocate of
liberal undergraduate education, McGahan has championed the introduction of a
history curriculum in Business Schools. At Boston University, she advised
minority and foreign students in the Humphrey Fellows program. She also serves
on the boards of several charities, scientific associations and a corporation.
McGahan's research has focused on models of industry
evolution and the evolution of competitive advantage. She is currently pursuing
a long-standing interest in the inception of new industries, and in the
implications for comparative advantage and international development. The focus
of her current work is on the process of scaling up organizational models in the
pharmaceutical, medical devices and health-delivery sectors of emerging
economies. She is the author of a 2004 HBS Press book called How Industries
Evolve, and was co-editor in 2004 of the 21st volume of Advances in
Strategic Management, which deals with issues of industry change. McGahan is
on the editorial boards of the Strategic Management Journal,
Management Science, and Strategic Organization.
McGahan’s academic publications include studies on the
health delivery, pharmaceutical, medical devices, consumer electronics, brewing
and insurance industries, among others. She has also conducted case studies on
automobiles, wheelchairs, baseball, telecommunications, network software,
airlines, pharmaceuticals, movie theaters, soft drinks, toy retailing, retail
banking and high-pressure laminates. Her large-scale statistical studies have
investigated broad patterns in the performance of companies, such as the rate at
which turnarounds occur, the importance of industry conditions to profitability,
the conditions for persistence in profitability, and the importance of corporate
parents in nurturing risky businesses.
