The world is full of "yes wo/men" yet we crave for dissenters/critics. Ofcourse
AssamNet has no dearth of such critics.

============================== New on the Site Encouraging Dissent in
Decision-Making http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5746.html
Our natural tendency to maintain silence and not rock the boat, a flaw at once
personal and organizational, results in badsometimes deadlydecisions. Think
New Coke, The Bay of Pigs, and the Columbia space shuttle disaster, for
starters. Here's how leaders can encourage all points of view.
Sharpening Your Skills: Negotiation http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5778.html
How can you negotiate more skillfully and confidently, in any environment?
Sharpening Your Skills dives into the HBS Working Knowledge archives to bring
together articles on ways to improve your business skills.
Working paper: Digital InteractivityUnanticipated Consequences for Markets,
Marketing, and Consumers http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5783.html
Download the PDF. For digital marketing practice and theory, the last decade
has brought two related surprises: the rise of social media and the rise of
search media. Marketing has struggled to find its place on these new
communication pathways. Old paradigms have been slow to die. This paper reviews
early beliefs about interactive marketing, then identifies 5 discrete roles for
interactive technology in contemporary life and 5 ways that firms respond.
Working paper: Team Familiarity, Role Experience, and PerformanceEvidence
from Indian Software Services http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5785.html
Download the PDF. In contexts ranging from product development to service
delivery, a significant amount of an organization's work is conducted by "fluid
teams" that strive for innovative output. Fluid teams exist only for the
duration of a single project, and are comprised of members who may join or
leave a team during the course of a project. This study of an Indian software
services firm considers an approach for capturing the experience held by such
teams.
Summing Up: Are Elite Business Schools Fostering the Deprofessionalization of
Management? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5759.html
The responses to this month's column offer many insights and ideas for
reprofessionalizing management. As one reader wrote, "Let's forget about
striving to gain acceptance as a profession in the traditional sense, as we are
not comparing like with like. The French term of 'cadre' may best accommodate
the reality of business practitioners in a modern world." Jim Heskett sums up.

Best of Faculty Q&As Making the Move to General Manager
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5608.html
Managers face a critical transition when they rise from functional expert to
general manager. It's an exciting shift but it's also fraught with pitfalls. A
new executive education program at Harvard Business School aims to smooth and
accelerate this transition, as professor and program chair Benjamin C. Esty
explains in this interview published last spring.
