Paperback. A Prominent Professor's Stirring Life-JourneyIn this heartfelt and revealing chronicle, Donald C. Hambrick, an internationally prominent management scholar, describes his personal life-journey.His initial decades were not auspicious. A certifiably clueless kid raised in a middle-class suburb of Denver, he fathered a child at sixteen and later almost dropped out of college to elope with the baby's mother. Later still, he was drafted and fought in the jungles of Vietnam. As part of Hambrick's hodgepodge wanderings, he applied for doctoral programs four distinct times over an eight-year period before deciding that he indeed wanted to be a professor.The rest, as they say, is history. Hambrick reports on his long tenures at Columbia and Penn State, providing a glimpse of two major American universities and their business schools in particular. He downplays his achievements, instead highlighting his shortcomings and setbacks, delivering an emotionally stirring book that will resonate for many."The Improbable Professor touched my heart and gave me a deeper appreciation for the persistence, self-reflection, and intellectual passion that fueled Don Hambrick's remarkable and impactful career. His story is inspiring and deeply human.

In this heartfelt and revealing chronicle, Donald C. Hambrick, an internationally prominent management scholar, describes his personal life-journey.
His initial decades were not auspicious. A certifiably clueless kid raised in a middle-class suburb of Denver, he fathered a child at sixteen and later almost dropped out of college to elope with the baby’s mother. Later still, he was drafted and fought in the jungles of Vietnam. As part of Hambrick’s hodgepodge wanderings, he applied for doctoral programs four distinct times over an eight-year period before deciding that he indeed wanted to be a professor.
The rest, as they say, is history. Hambrick reports on his long tenures at Columbia and Penn State, providing a glimpse of two major American universities and their business schools in particular. He downplays his achievements, instead highlighting his shortcomings and setbacks, delivering an emotionally stirring book that will resonate for many.
“The Improbable Professor touched my heart and gave me a deeper appreciation for the persistence, self-reflection, and intellectual passion that fueled Don Hambrick’s remarkable and impactful career. His story is inspiring and deeply human. It made me cry and laugh, and it will resonate with anyone who cares about scholarship, growth, and making a meaningful contribution to both research and practice.”

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
