Open Access to Sloan Management Review Articles – Today and Tomorrow Only

On March 20 and 21, the Sloan Management Review is offering open access to those interested in my work for your reading and downloading pleasure.

This is a great time to re-acquaint yourself with material that I’ve published or introduce new colleagues to some of that work. 

In this piece, “Is Your Company Ready to Operate as a Market,” I discuss how the conventional wisdom of organizing changes when more and more transactions can be conducted through market-like mechanisms, rather than having to be coordinated within an organization. Those of you pondering the consequences of the “uberization” of everything will find some provocative ideas here. https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/is-your-company-ready-to-operate-as-a-market/

A theme I have pursued for a long time is how the learning challenge for innovative companies is testing their own assumptions, cheaply and quickly, before spending a lot of time and money chasing ideas that have not been validated in the market. This article, “The Danger of Untested Assumptions” lays out some additional ideas along these lines: https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/the-dangers-of-unchecked-assumptions/

Sloan Management Review thinkers are profiled in this piece on the Thinkers50 annual ranking: https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/mit-sloan-management-review-authors-prominent-in-thinkers50-2013-rankings/

What if every business today has to learn the lessons of behaving like a startup? We tackle this intriguing question in this piece, “How to rethink your business during uncertainty” https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/how-to-rethink-your-business-during-uncertainty/

Nobody likes to fail. But our research shows that failing well and capturing whatever value was created during a failed venture can contribute mightily to long-term success. https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/extracting-value-from-corporate-venturing/

Do have a look!

Comments and suggestions are most welcome!
