ASSIGNMENT 1

 

Pick a general management journal aimed at practicing managers, such as:

Harvard Business Review

is in Business/Econ library; and http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/frames/groups/hbr/index.html has article titles and abstracts

The Academy of Management Executive

[The Melvyl record: ABI Melvyl
No call number
Library has: May 1993
Note: Electronic resource]

 

(There are other possibilities as well.) 

Browse the issues over the last 3 years. (Web version of HBR has only titles and abstracts, and doesn’t go back 3 years, so you need to go find the paper copy in Business Library. It appears that the campus may not have paper subscription to The Executive.)  

Based on your browsing, write a 2-page description (double spaced) of what this journal seems to think are the major issues that managers are or should be concerned about. What sort of a picture of managers and their responsibilities emerges from your perusal? Critique this image of the manager and his/her concerns. Relate to your own experience, and to what you know about information organizations.
