Description:Harvard Business Review contains the complete text of the Harvard Business Review from 1976 to the present. In addition, the database contains citations and abstracts to Harvard Business Review articles from 1971 to 1975, plus 700 classic earlier articles. Harvard Business Review covers the complete range of strategic management subjects of interest to managers and researchers, including accounting, automation, business ethics, industry analysis, strategic planning, and trade. Harvard Business Review is a general management magazine published since 1922 by Harvard Business School Publishing, owned by the Harvard Business School. A monthly research-based magazine written for business practitioners, it claims a high ranking business readership and enjoys the reverence of academics, executives, and management consultants. It has been the frequent publishing home for well known scholars and management thinkers, among them Clayton M. Christensen, Peter F. Drucker, Michael E. Porter, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Gary Hamel, C.K. Prahalad, Robert S. Kaplan, Robert H. Schaffer and others. Management and business concepts and terms such as "Balanced scorecard," "Core competence," "Strategic intent," "Reengineering," "Globalization," "Marketing myopia," and "Glass ceiling" were first given prominence in HBR's pages. Its worldwide English-language circulation is 240,000, and there are 11 licensed editions of the magazine, including two Chinese-language editions, a German edition, a Polish edition, a Hungarian edition, a Brazilian (Portuguese-language) edition, and an English-language South Asia edition. The magazine is editorially independent of Harvard Business School. It is not peer reviewed. In January 2009 Harvard Business Review named Adi Ignatius as Editor-in-Chief. Ignatius is the former Deputy Managing Editor of TIME magazine. HBR’s publisher is Hank Boye and its Deputy Editor and Assistant Managing Director is Karen Dillon.
