I deleted the adjective 'outstanding' from his description as a golfer. Seems like it was probably added by his agent.

I think that the criticisms section is too harsh and definitely not neutral. It should be balanced out with sources that compliment his works Senington ( talk) 22:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Dr. Kozluk has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
I think the article goes too far in the use of praising tone. Michael Porter is certainly a great and influential professor, but its a bit too much
It also has way too much details - it reads like his own website "life history" and hence we loose the main point - i.e. his prime contributions. I would get rid of details like most about early life "He was on the NCAA championship golf squad at Princeton and also played football, baseball and basketball growing up.[3]
Porter credits Harvard professor Roland "Chris" Christensen with inspiring him and encouraging him to speak up during class, hand-writing Porter a note that began: "Mr. Porter, you have a lot to contribute in class and I hope you will." Porter reached the top of the class by the second year at Harvard Business School.[3]
At Harvard, Porter took classes in industrial organization economics, which attempts to model the effect of competitive forces on industries and their profitability. " which doesn't bring much, except a slightly ridiculous praising tone. Moreover, among Porters numerous achievements (way too many listed here, without giving justice to the really big ones) is his contribution to the environmental economics debate (the Porter Hypothesis - references to papers such as Porter 1990, Porter and van der Linde, 1995), is one of the most heated topics of environmental economics. It is certainly not without controversy (see eg https://ideas.repec.org/a/oec/ecokac/5jz2drqml75j.html and references within), but surely deserves more than just a mention in a list!. I would reorganize the article and highlight that, among with his other achievements, rather than a hagiographical note on his life steps and great life. thanks

Dr. Andre has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
Related to "Competition among nations", it is worth mentioning the so-called "Porter Hypothesis", which is quite importante in Environmental Economics. According to this Hypothesis, those countries that implement a more demanding environmental policy can become more (rather than less) competitive vis-a-vis their counterparts.
For the introduction of the hypothesis see
Porter, M. E., & Van der Linde, C. (1995). Toward a new conception of the environment-competitiveness relationship. The journal of economic perspectives, 9(4), 97-118.
For a survey of the literature on this topic see
Ambec, S., Cohen, M. A., Elgie, S., & Lanoie, P. (2013). The Porter hypothesis at 20: can environmental regulation enhance innovation and competitiveness?. Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, 7(1), 2-22.

Dear Wikipedia editors,
Please, can the following changes and updates be made to Michael Porter's pages?
Extended content
|
---|
The Career section of Porter's biography does not fully represent his earliest work in "Strategy and Competition." The requested edits add a new subheading section for it. The content is sourced from the Harvard Business School faculty directory and profiles at https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6532. Additionally, I have updated the number of books and McKinsey Awards Professor Porter has. Please see below for all suggested requests. Career
Michael Porter is the author of 19 books and numerous articles including Competitive Strategy, Competitive Advantage, Competitive Advantage of Nations, and On Competition. A seven-time winner of the McKinsey Award for the best Harvard Business Review article of the year [1], and Professor Porter is the most cited author in business and economics. [2] Industry Competition and Company Strategy
Michael Porter’s early work was on industry competition and company strategy, where he was the pioneer in utilizing economic theory to develop a more rigorous understanding of industry competition and the choices companies make to compete. Out of his research, Dr. Porter developed the Porter's five forces framework as a tool for analyzing business and industry competitiveness. In addition to advancing his home field of industrial organization economics, Dr. Porter’s work has defined the modern strategy field. [1] References
