How Female Stars Succeed in New Jobs
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5949.html

Women who are star performers on Wall Street tend to fare better than men after changing jobs. Why? According to HBS professor Boris Groysberg, star women place greater emphasis than men on external business relationships, and conduct better research on potential employers. Plus: Businesswomen asked to share career experiences.

Op-Ed: Why the U.S. Should Encourage FDI
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5984.html

American financial executives are courting foreign direct investors, particularly sovereign wealth funds, for new investments. Should these investments draw increased scrutiny from U.S. regulators? Harvard Business School professor Mihir Desai argues that most of these deals work out in America's best financial interest. 

Working paper: Communication (and Coordination?) in a Modern, Complex Organization
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5991.html

Download the PDF. Coordination, and the communication it implies, is central to the very existence of organizations. Despite their fundamental role in the purpose of organizations, scholars have little understanding of actual interaction patterns in modern, complex, multiunit firms. To open the proverbial "black box" and begin to reveal the internal wiring of the firm, this paper by Harvard Business School's Adam M. Kleinbaum, Toby E. Stuart, and Michael L. Tushman presents a detailed, descriptive analysis of the network of communications among members of a large, structurally, functionally, geographically, and strategically diverse firm.

What Do You Think? Has the Time Come for "Stretch" in Management?
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5989.html

Online forum OPEN until August 27. The leadership of General Electric introduced the management concept of "stretch"—setting seemingly impossible goals—in the 1990s, writes HBS professor Jim Heskett. Does stretch still make sense as an organizing principle? What, if anything, should be done to ensure that stretch is allowed to flourish in companies today?

Industry Self-Regulation: What's Working (and What's Not)?
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5590.html

Self-regulation has been all over the news, but are firms that adopt such programs already better on important measures like labor and quality practices? Does adopting a program help companies improve faster? In this Q&A from 2007, HBS professor Michael Toffel gives a reality check and discusses the trends for managers.
