Read Bio
Former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review, Nicholas Carr set the stage for a global debate on the strategic value of information technology in business with his 2003 article "IT Doesn't Matter," and follow-up best seller Does IT Matter?: Information Technology and the Corrosion of Competitive Advantage. His new 2008 book, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google, examines the future of computing and its implications for business and society. The Wall Street Journal says The Big Switch is "destined to influence CEOs and the boards and investors that support them as companies grapple with the constant change of the digital age."
Carr has written more than a dozen other articles and interviews for Harvard Business Review and writes regularly for the Financial Times, Strategy & Business and The Guardian as well as in his blog, Rough Type.
In 2005, Optimize magazine named Carr one of the leading thinkers on IT, and in 2007 eWeek named him one of the 100 most influential people in IT. Earlier in his career, Carr was a principal at Mercer Management Consulting. He holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.A., in English literature, from Harvard University.
