Quite literally "essential reading",
By
This review is from: HBR'S 10 Must Reads: The Essentials (Paperback)
This volume is one of several in a new series of anthologies of articles that initially appeared in the Harvard Business Review, in this instance from 1960 until 2006. Remarkably, none seems dated; on the contrary, if anything, all seem more relevant now than ever before as their authors discuss what are (literally) essential dimensions of leadership and management.More specifically, how to meet the challenges of disruptive change, compete on analytics, manage one's self, understand what all effective leaders share in common, put the balanced scorecard to work, what innovation's "classic traps" are and how to avoid or escape from them, why most transformations fail, what "marketing myopia" is and how/why it limits (if not prevents) success, what strategy is (and isn't) and what it does (and doesn't) do, and how/why the core competencies of the corporation determine the nature and extent of its success or failure. Each article includes two invaluable reader-friendly devices, "Idea in Brief" and "Idea in Practice" sections, that facilitate, indeed expedite review of key points. Some articles also include mini-essays on even more specific subjects such as "Fitting the Tool to the Task" (Clayton M. Christensen and Michael Overdorf), "Going to Bat for the Stats" and "You Know You Compete on Analytics When" (Thomas H. Davenport), "Can Emotional Intelligence Be Learned?" (Daniel Goleman), "Building a Balanced Scorecard" (Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton), "The Lessons of Innovation" (Rosabeth Moss Kanter), "Japanese Companies Rarely Have Strategies" (Michael Porter), and "Vickers Learns the Value of Strategic Architecture" (C.K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel). These ten articles do not - because they obviously cannot - explain everything that one knows to know and understand about these essential business issues. However, I do not know of another single source at this price (currently CDN$15.64 from Amazon) that provides more and better information, insights, and advice that will help leaders to achieve success in the business dimensions examined in this volume.

Cheesy book title but solid articles,
By Etamar Laron - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HBR'S 10 Must Reads: The Essentials (Paperback)
I sometimes wonder why things can't just be called by their content rather than attempting to lure me in. Harvard Business Review is a serious publishing house, and I own so many other, just as impressive collections and journal articles they publish or sell.The cheesy book title aside, these articles are definitely good for keeping and returning to. Do not mistake them for truly being "The essentials" as there are so many other good articles and essays out there that are not less a foundation in business, strategy, marketing, and other aspects of business. But they are certainly worth reading more than once, and personally I would include most of them in a "top 1,000" business articles. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Insightful,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HBR'S 10 Must Reads: The Essentials (Paperback)
I am towards the end of this book, and it is solid reading written by clear experts in the field of business strategy. Although I was never a business student, continuing education through books from Amazon such as this and beyond are crucial to future success no matter what your expanding interests are. This is one of my favorite books to this day, in fact, for several reasons.The collection of articles contains pertinent case studies and references of notable companies, both current and now-obsolete, that have employed various strategies in their continuous growth or lack of. Many industries, such as the petroleum industry, are presented and little-known facts are included that help you form your own opinions and value-systems with a global view. One reviewer had stated that the information is "hardly groundbreaking", but that is just the point. It requires/ allows you to create your own future using the wisdom and research of the past and current. |
