The Ideas That Shaped Management in 2014; Harvard Business Review, 12/30/14

Katherine Bell, Harvard Business Review; The Ideas That Shaped Management in 2014:

"We look forward to the annual task of putting together an end-of-year reading list to keep you busy over the holidays. It gives us an opportunity to look back over all of the ideas and advice we published during the year and see what patterns emerge. We consider which ideas we think will have the best chance of really changing the way people and their organizations work. Which research best answered questions we hadn’t even thought to ask? Of all the ways the world changed in 2014 — economic, cultural, technological, all three — which will matter most to us in 2015? And which pieces of expert advice were most sensible, badly needed, and clearly explained?

So, here’s this year’s list: questions answered, helpful advice, and five themes that came up again and again. We hope you enjoy it."
