Thinking Twice About Supply-Chain Layoffs
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6088.html
Cutting the wrong employees can be counterproductive for retailers, new research from Harvard Business School professor Zeynep Ton concludes. One suggestion: Pay attention to staff who handle mundane tasks such as stocking and labeling. Your customers do.

What Do You Think? Can Housing and Credit be "Nudged" Back to Health?
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6072.html
Online forum OPEN until Friday, December 19. Did human frailty cause this crisis? Several thinkers have come forward with a suggestion for improvements to fiscal policy that are based on fostering better decisions while preserving consumer choice, says HBS professor Jim Heskett. What should be done? What do you think?

Working Paper: Performance Persistence in Entrepreneurship
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6045.html
Download the paper. All else equal, a venture-capital-backed entrepreneur who starts a company that goes public has a 30 percent chance of succeeding in his or her next venture. First-time entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have only an 18 percent chance of succeeding, and entrepreneurs who previously failed have a 20 percent chance of succeeding. But why do these contrasts exist? HBS professors Paul A. Gompers, Anna Kovner, Josh Lerner, and David S. Scharfstein examine the topic in depth.

Working Paper: Local Industrial Conditions and Entrepreneurship—How Much of the Spatial Distribution Can We Explain?
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6062.html
Download the paper. Some places, like Silicon Valley, seem almost magically entrepreneurial with a new start-up on every street corner. Other areas, like declining cities of the Rust Belt, appear equally starved of whatever local attributes make entrepreneurship more likely. Many academics, policymakers, and business leaders stress the importance of local conditions for explaining spatial differences in entrepreneurship and economic development. Edward L. Glaeser and HBS professor William R. Kerr use data from the U.S. Census Bureau to characterize these entry relationships more precisely within the manufacturing sector.
