 ==============================  New on the Site  Mapping Polluters, Encouraging Protectors http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5824.html
 Where are the biggest polluters? And what is your company doing to protect the environment? A new Web site—both a public service and a research tool—posts managers' data in real time, allowing a balanced view of industrial environmental performance. HBS professor Michael W. Toffel and senior research fellow Andrew A. King explain.
  
  Sharpening Your Skills: Operations Management http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5840.html
 Can lean production methods be used in service industries? How can operations be used to competitive advantage? These are several of the questions answered in this month's Sharpening Your Skills articles on the topic of operations management.
  
  Working paper: See No Evil—When We Overlook Other People's Unethical Behavior http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5839.html
 Download the pdf. Even good people sometimes act unethically without their own awareness. This paper by Francesca Gino, Don A. Moore, and HBS professor Max Bazerman explores psychological processes as they affect the ethical perception of others' behavior, and concludes with implications for organizations.
  
  Working paper: A Resource Belief-Curse—Oil and Individualism http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5835.html
 Download the pdf. Antipathy toward markets has become particularly acute in Latin America, write HBS professor Rafael M. Di Tella and colleagues Juan Dubra and Robert MacCulloch. A connection between dependence on oil and receptivity to populist rhetoric is both natural in economic models and has some support in the data.
  
  What Do You Think: Does Judgment Trump Experience? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5828.html
 Online forum OPEN until January 24. It's a question as relevant for business as for the U.S. presidential campaign, says HBS professor Jim Heskett. If "judgment capability" is a function of experience, what kind of experience is important? Does plenty of experience really improve judgment? What do you think?
