The MOC Affiliate Network
The Microeconomics of Competitiveness (MOC) course is a distinctive course platform developed at Harvard Business School by Professor Michael Porter and a team of colleagues at the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness. The course, which is concerned with the determinants of competitiveness and economic development viewed from a bottom up, microeconomic perspective, is designed for students at Harvard as well as a platform for educational institutions and locally trained professors to teach the course around the world.
The MOC Affiliate Network is an international group of educational institutions that teach the MOC curriculum and collaborate in the area of competitiveness. The mission of the network is to provide an institutional setting that teaches the MOC theoretical framework, generates knowledge through collaborative research, and influences policy makers and leaders in the world to improve competitiveness at all levels. Having grown from two universities when the network launched in 2002, the MOC Affiliate Network now consists of more than 100 educational institutions teaching the curriculum in over 65 countries around the world.
