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 discoveries are a regular reward. We are constantly in pursuit
of new approaches and fresh insights that lead to improvements 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 suggestions 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 customers 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 completes 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, topline 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.
