For the “read” file

There are five sources that I read regularly; for entrepreneurs and business managers alike they provide perspectives on a range of topics from current global events to understanding the intricacies of markets, to learning more about the foundational social sciences that contribute to business like sociology, psychology and economics.

This content from the world’s leading minds comes to you free of charge.

• Strategy + Business - The online version of this magazine (not a journal as it’s not peer reviewed, not unlike Harvard Business Review) is published by top tier management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. The content mainly comes from the magazine editors and subject matter experts that work for the firm. Note: once you register to use the site, you can get a series of articles as they are released as well as most of the content from the print magazine. http://www.strategy-business.com/
