DISCOVERY MOVES US FORWARD WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU UNCOVERED A GREAT IDEA—AND JUST COULDN’T WAIT TO PUT IT TO WORK?

For Harvard Business Publishing customers, valuable dis-coveries are a regular reward. We are constantly in pursuit of new approaches and fresh insights that lead to improve-ments in how we work, compete, and succeed.

In Harvard Business Review1 articles and books published by Harvard Business Review Press, we’ve introduced many of the pioneering ideas of modern management: the Globalization of Markets, the Five Forces of Competitive Strategy, the Balanced Scorecard, and Disruptive Innovation, to name a few. And we keep going, with recent breakthroughs such as Blue Ocean Strategy,2 Competing on Analytics, and Open Innovation.

We never stop searching for new ways to inspire, motivate, explain, and disrupt conventional thinking.

DIALOGUE MOVES US FORWARD TALKING TO A COLLEAGUE OR MENTOR IS A GREAT WAY TO WORK THROUGH A CHALLENGE.

Dialogue surfaces relevant experiences and helpful sugges-tions while drawing people together to explore innovative possibilities.

Our content encourages dialogue in many settings and formats. Online at Harvard Business for Educators,1 faculty from institutions around the world share ideas about instructional design and new course materials. At HBR.org, topics like “Should You Invest in the Long Tail?”2 and “Is Executive Compensation Broken?” spark energetic debates among experts and practitioners that frequently continue on in other influential forums and media outlets. Through our Leadership Direct program, cohorts of leaders come together to share learning experiences, insights, and best practices.

At Harvard Business Publishing, we believe dialogue is a powerful lever for shaping the agenda for business. We take you to the heart of these conversations so you can add your voice and help take things in a new direction.

PERSPECTIVE MOVES US FORWARD

YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN IS GLOBAL. SO IS OURS.

Our editorial and product development teams cover the world to find the most relevant and revelatory theories and real-world examples. And they draw from a wide range of expertise—scholars, executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, and innovators from fields beyond business.

Through our subsidiary Harvard Business Publishing India, based in Mumbai, we have an on-the-ground presence in one of the most dynamic and innovative economies of the world. The eleven local language editions of Harvard

Business Review1 help us explore the evolution of business worldwide. Editors regularly acquire content from IMD in Switzerland, CEIBS in China, Harvard Business School in the United States, and other top institutions worldwide. We bring you the voices of celebrated CEOs such as A.G. Lafley of Procter & Gamble and emerging experts such as Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff, co-authors of Groundswell.2 Online at harvardbusiness.org, more than two dozen regular contributors spur lively interactive discussions.

Whatever your challenge, we can help you see the possibilities from every angle.

LEARNING MOVES US FORWARD

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE SAY THEY NEVER STOP LEARNING.

There’s endless opportunity to grow knowledge over the course of a career, in many different settings—MBA or executive education, corporate training programs, or simply at your desk. In these and other contexts, Harvard Business Publishing materials are crucial to the process. We can jump-start thinking with the online Management Tip of the Day or suggest quick but thoughtful solutions from downloadable book chapters. Higher education simulations1 let you practice and learn from different scenarios, while Harvard Business Review’s interactive cases offer lessons from the field.

We are also a learning source for those who instruct others. Our Participant-Centered Learning materials and programs help educators develop expertise in case method teaching, while our Train the Trainer programs for leadership development professionals boost in-house delivery skills.

You would expect that learning is in our DNA. It’s also true of the community we serve.

IMPACT MOVES US FORWARD

BUSINESS IS ABOUT RESULTS.

Results not only on the bottom line but also in the people, products,

and strategies that upend the competition and create opportunity.

At Harvard Business Publishing, we judge the success of the ideas

we publish by the enduring impact they have—on our custom-

ers and the world at large. How do we define impact? It’s when a

provocative Harvard Business Review article launches a global

debate that redefines our understanding of bottom-of-the-pyramid

opportunities. When a group of high-potential managers com-

pletes the Breakthrough Leadership program1 and takes charge in

new roles fast. When a CEO, on a flight to Taipei, finishes the book

Collaboration2 and starts noodling on his napkin. When a case study

on Google provokes a spirited classroom discussion that continues

after the class ends.

No matter how you calculate success—increased market share, top-

line growth, a new assignment—Harvard Business Publishing can

provide the knowledge and know-how to increase your impact.

PARTNERSHIP MOVES US FORWARD

STRONG PARTNERSHIPS DRIVE GROWTH.

Collaboration and partnership are at the heart of everything we do—from how we develop content, to how we work with authors, corporations, and schools, to how we create custom learning solutions.

Our partners include a Fortune 500® company that turns to us to align the Harvard ManageMentor1 program with its global management competencies. An acclaimed author who works with us to extend the reach of her leadership development framework, from an article to a book to an online learning program. An assistant professor who attends a seminar on participant-centered learning and then becomes an advocate for case method teaching at his school.

In fact, our partners are often our greatest evangelists and innovators. They use and recommend our content, help us to refine and expand our offerings to better meet their needs, and, through that process, build lasting relationships that grow richer and more meaningful over time.
