Have you browsed the magazine section in the library lately? The latest editions of our business magazines really have great articles for you to read and perhaps give you a break from cramming for that next exam or finishing a project.
Fortune (Nov. 7th issue) includes a book excerpt from one of the latest books on Steve Jobs. The title of the book is Steve Jobs: the Biography by Walter Isaacson which is also on order for our library. However, this particular book section focuses on the relationship between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs – very interesting as you read about the parallels in their lives. In the same issue is a section on the 40 top business stars under 40. It won’t surprise you that Mark Zuckerberg is on the list but seeing others may just inspire you as well whether an entrepreneur, to working for a large corporation or a government agency.
The Economist (October 29th) has a really strong yet short article on the economic crisis in Europe. We are all hearing it so much in the news but this article really outlines the issues well.
Harvard Business Review (November 2011) focuses on what great companies do differently. There is an article on what businesses can learn from organized crime such as exploiting the long tail, money isn’t the only incentive, outsource to specialists and use new groups to create opportunity. There is also a great read on “What every CEO needs to know about the Cloud”.
Finally, MIT Sloan Management Review (Fall 2011) puts the spotlight on the “Age of the Consumer-Innovator” and what companies can learn from consumers when it comes to product development.
