Summary: Get Ahead of the Curve
Comment: Are you playing catch up on management trends after being asked if your group is doing something by the CEO? Get ahead of the curve. Almost all the trends appear here first so you can be ready with some insight instead of being on your heels.

Summary: S C R E W every management/leadership training book you've ever read, HBR is the single source !
Comment: Every issue has more than one great idea or example of how to handle crisis in every form from problematic employees, an inept manager who needs to be subtlety told to shut up or a product liability scenario that could possibly bankrupt your company.
Real leaders contribute to the HBR while it dispenses with most of the worthless psychologists Working with Emotional Intelligence who never spent a day in their life leading a corporation with $100,000,000 in annual sales.
Ever issue is a time well spent and also why the HBR monthly publication has the highest subscription renewal rate of any magazine published in the world.

Summary: THE Resource & Reference for your Creative Business
Comment: Having been a dedicated reader of Harvard Business Review for over 2 years now, I have found HBR to be the perfect supplement to my trade publications and magazines (creative industry- Communication Arts, Print, HOW, Digital Arts, Computer Arts, and Photoshop User).
For those of you who are in the creative industry, whether that be agencies, creative side, accounts side, or especially as a freelancer or sole propietor, Harvard Business Review will supplement your business know-how, understanding and social interactions. A highly effective resource, I have found at least one article every issue that I implement into my own practices.
This month's HBR addressed Negotiations, which is highly useful for the creative industry. A few months ago it was Strategic Thinking and Implementation, another extremely applicable issue. Please do not be thrown off by the reviews stating that the publication is losing its effectiveness. If you are in the creative industry and seek a magazine to supplement your advancement, Harvard Business Review is a superb choice. -Alana Renfro

Summary: Should be mandatory for any serious student of management and leadership
Comment: 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!
Comment: 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.
