About mgmtarticles.com

Time is becoming an increasingly precious and scarce commodity for businesspeople. At the same time, the role of knowledge in the economy is becoming dominant and thus arises a need for continuous education. Naturally, these two facts are in conflict. My goal is to help you reconcile that conflict by posting annotated links to best-of-the-Web business-related articles.

Essentially, I read a long list of free, online sources of articles (see below for a partial list). The problem I have found is that even my favorite sources produce quite a lot of material that isn’t really all that worthwhile to read. What I do is read through all of them for you and point out just the ones that are worth your time to read. My core editorial rule is that an article is worth reading if it has one or more learning points and that it more or less timeless (e.g., you would benefit from reading it whether today or 10 years from now).

About Your Editor

My name is Jeff Blum and I have been researching and referencing business management and leadership materal since early 2000 when I launched MBA Depot, a free resource for MBAs and managers.

I am a graduate of the MBA program at the University of Texas at Austin and I have a diverse set of career experiences. I began my career working for a Fortune 50 company and have since extended my expertise to the field of entrepreneurship, starting and/or working with a half dozen new businesses. I have also lived and worked in Japan and Guatemala and I have a strong interest in international business, culture and language. Despite my busy schedule, I do occasionally take on short-term management consulting projects so if you would like to discuss this possibility, please contact me.
