Progeny
Professor Eric Von Hippel currently teaches both PhD students and post doctorates. One of his former PhD students was Karim R. Lakhani, who is currently an assistant professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. Karim studied under Von Hippel at MIT and was awarded his Ph.D in management in 2006. He is a co-founder of the MIT-based Open Source research community and web portal, and has served as a "Lecturer in the Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship group at MIT's Sloan School of Management." Here are two of the papers that Von Hippel and Lakhani have worked together on:
• von Hippel, Eric (2005) "Open source software projects as user innovation networks - no manufacturer required." in Perspectives on Free and Open Source Software, edited by J. Feller, B. Fitzgerald, S. Hissam, and K. Lakhani. Cambridge: MIT Press.
• Lakhani, Karim and Eric von Hippel (2003) "How Open Source Software Works: "Free" User-to-User Assistance," Research Policy Vol 32 No. 6, (June) Pages 923-943

Famous quotes containing the word progeny:
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“This same progeny of evils comes
From our debate, from our dissension.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
