Thislink provides you with what I believe is an essential addition to the e-libraryof every manager. You shouldkeep it available for the rest of your career. Meanwhile I would like you to pick one article that especially appeals to you , read it and write a review for your classmates discussing not only the article but also the reasons why (or why not) they should take the time to read it.Be concise, be complete (what's good and what's bad in the article) and be persuasivein your recommendation.

When you have read the above articles:

1. Write a initial thread of what you have learnedfrom the articles; what youagreed (or disagreed with) and so on.
2. Discuss(talk about) the reading material with your fellow students.You cantalk about what you learned from the articles; what you liked; what youdid not like;what the authors missed in their article; how thearticles relate to your experienceand so on. When I read yourdiscussions I want to see evidence that you have actually read thematerial and that you trulyunderstand what you read and how itapplied to the real world business environment.
