What can Harvard Business School (HBS) do for you? Quite a bit as it turns out, particularly for parties with interest in business practice. The Working Knowledge site is "a forum for innovation in business practice, offering readers a first look at cutting-edge thinking from HBS faculty." Every weekday the site offers new work from over 200 HBS faculty, and the reports, updates, and commentaries include pieces like "Five Imperatives for Improving Health Care" and "Is your iPhone Turning You into a Wimp?" First-time visitors should note that they may browse by topic, industry, or geography. Moving on, the New Working Papers section brings together helpful new scholarly works like "Helping You Help Me" and "Cumulative Innovation & Open Disclosure of Intermediate Results." The conversational aspects of this site come to life in the What Do You Think? area, which encourages curious parties to comment on pieces such as "What are the Limits Of Transparency?" The site is rounded out by a place where visitors can get a "First Look" at new faculty working papers and case studies before they enter mainstream practice.
