Clip Context

  • “Power and Influence,” a graduate course at Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School with 85 students enrolled. 
  • This course explores how power works in society, how it is often used to reproduce the status quo, and how we might leverage it as a force for social change. Battilana's use of cases and simulations brings otherwise abstract concepts to life for students. In this class, the students discuss a case study about OrganJet, a company that flies transplant patients to hospitals that have organs available for transplant. 
  • This clip comes at the very beginning of the hour-long video as Battilana connects the day’s case to the larger themes of the course.
