Andrew McAfee, the founder of the term “Enterprise 2.0”, joined the faculty of the Technology and Operations Management Unit at Harvard Business School in 1998. His research investigates how managers can most effectively select, implement, and use information technology (IT) to achieve business goals. He was the recipient of a US Department of Energy Integrated Manufacturing Fellowship for his doctoral research, which focused on the performance impact of enterprise information systems.

Prior to coming to HBS, McAfee worked as a consultant in operations management, advising clients in a range of industries including aerospace, consumer electronics, white goods, and OEM electronics.

McAfee was awarded a doctorate in business administration at Harvard Business School in 1999. He also holds dual MS degrees in mechanical engineering and management, and BS degrees in mechanical engineering and humanities, all from MIT. His new book on Enterprise 2.0 will be published by Harvard Business School Press in late 2008.
