McKinsey on Strategy - First Quarter Newsletter

May 1, 2008 · No Comments

I think I’ve mentioned before that I find the McKinsey Quarterly’s free resources available by signing up for their newsletter to be top notch. This quarter’s entries for top strategy articles are no exception. The descriptions below are taken directly from the e-mail newsletter. I’ve deleted the ones that are only available to premium (paid) subscribers. I’ve only read the climate change and Brad Bird/Pixar ones so far, but both were excellent.
