The Management Ideas That Mattered Most in 2016; Harvard Business Review, 12/22/16

Katherine Bell, Harvard Business Review; 

The Management Ideas That Mattered Most in 2016:


"One of our favorite parts of the HBR year is looking back at what we published to find the ideas that, in retrospect, stand out the most — articles that taught us something truly new or surprised us with wholly new ways of thinking about topics we thought we were tired of, as well as the articles our readers found most interesting or useful. In 2016, the Venn diagram of what we were proudest of and what you spent the most time reading overlapped more than ever. And this year it was particularly easy to see themes emerge.

Many of the ideas that stood out fall roughly into two categories:  1. streams of management research that gathered momentum or brought new data to an old debate and 2. management thinking applied outside the sphere of what we ordinarily think of as management to help make sense of global risks, political choices, and economic, social, and technological shifts.
2016 was a worrying and unpredictable year. But the articles below — and many others we published this year — give me as much faith as ever that good, principled, innovative management can help us solve our way out of even the most difficult problems."
