Capitalism. Educating leaders of Fortune 500 companies. Country club lifestyles and wine & cheese parties.
But after this past weekend, those same Austinites would undoubtedly answer that in addition to being the world’s best business school, HBS has a smash-mouth, championship rugby team that has the ability to party like rockstars.
