Henderson’s work concerns how organizations respond to large-scale technological shifts, most recently in regard to energy and the environment. She teaches “Leadership and Corporate Accountability” and the field study seminar “Building Green Businesses” in the MBA Program. Henderson recently co-edited a book with Richard G. Newell, a former Pre-Doctoral Fellow of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program and Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, entitled [*Accelerating Energy Innovation: Insights from Multiple Sectors*](http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo11668985.html).
