"Process is God" might well be the motto of this management resource. The Harvard Business Review is all about best practices and better practices and being front and center with the latest and greatest ideas about how to run anything from a railroad to a recovering dotcom. Although the magazine's eagerness to adopt buzzwords makes it a target for jargon watchers, it is at heart conservative and cautious. What is the key to success, according to the Harvard Business Review? Lead, motivate, innovate! And then use the performance measurement tool of the month to make sure that the leading, motivating, and innovating worked, you know, just to be on the safe side. --Edith Sorenson

Summary: Should be mandatory for any serious student of management and leadership
Rating: 5

These articles are informational and practical to my daily experience. I wish I had subscribed to this magazine earlier, long time ago.

Summary: Better than Forbes and Fortune!
Rating: 5

HBR is the most intelligently written executive-grade business magazine available. Forbes and Fortune would be the next runners up, but way in the distance. It takes a mag directed to people with chief positions and the aspiring chiefs to have an executive summary at the end of every magazine!

If you think the subscription price is nearing outrageous, the cover price is much worse! Barnes 'n' Noble said it was their most expensive standard-size magazine. Despite that, I purchased two issues, I am now going to subscribe. It cost far less than a Harvard MBA, a bunch (perhaps all) of the articles are written by Harvard professors and it is apparent in their writing that they make every word count. It is worth every penny.

Summary: Keep your mind sharp with the Harvard Business Review
Rating: 5

I've been subscribing to The Harvard Business Review for most of my career, and have been very pleased. Staying current with new ideas and new concepts is such an important part of being an effective leader in today's dynamic organization.

The Harvard Business Review has done a fantastic job of providing a catalyst for infusing new thoughts into an organization that is striving to improve performance and drive innovative change.
