Subject: Newsletter: The Accidental Innovator
Welcome to the new and improved HBS Working Knowledge!Rather than submit you to a long explanation of what has changed and why, we'll give you the highlights and leave you to some exploring.What's the Same?
- Articles on cutting-edge thinking about business and business management, written for the practitioner.
- Jim Heskett's popular "What Do YOU Think?" column continues, but updated daily, blog style, with observations and comments from readers.
- Although we have redesigned the site, many of the familiar trademarks of the previous incarnation of Working Knowledge remain. Long-time readers should still feel at home, even though the "roof" has been painted blue.
What's New?
- Almost all of our content will be devoted to the research and ideas of Harvard Business School faculty--more than 200 strong.
- Rather than publishing weekly, new content will be added to Working Knowledge most weekdays--subscribe to our RSS feeds to get daily notifications of new content. This weekly e-mail newsletter remains unchanged, listing all the new content that has been published over the last week.
- We've added a Working Papers archive. Many HBS faculty publish working papers as an early look into their research. Although often academic in nature, these papers are a great source of new ideas.
- First Look. This is a simple but powerful listing of new publications--working papers, cases, course materials, journal articles, books, and book chapters--authored by HBS faculty. If it's off-the-radar, leading-edge ideas you are interested in, you'll see them first in First Look.
- Most new articles will include an Executive Summary and key points, providing a quick scan for readers.
- Much of our content has been tagged by topic, industry, geography, and faculty, making it easier to find related materials.
- New features include Views on News, Op-Ed, Lessons from the Classroom, Reports from the Field, and more!
What's Coming?
- We don't like to talk about improvements until they actually launch, but we are committed later this year to adding new content types such as podcasts, expanding our search offerings, and adding several new features.
