Foursquare vs. Gowalla: Inside the Check-In Wars
Foursquare attracted mainstream partnerships with Bravo TV, Zagat, Harvard University, and a host of national retailers. While the future of these companies may not be at stake at SXSW this year, the winner will matter to the many voracious users of each platform. If you ever visit the downtown Manhattan offices of Foursquare , the popular location-based social game for smartphones, don't say the word Gowalla. When I made that mistake during a visit there last November, 27-year-old cofounder Naveen Selvadurai sent me to the Foursquare time out chair.

Roger Martin is the Dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in Canada and the author of The Design of Business: Why Design Thinking is the Next Competitive Advantage (Harvard Business Press, 2009). Taking responsibility for something one is incapable of doing has never been a particularly good idea. Politicians get in trouble for promising their electorates that

  • 25 Stretch Goals for Management
    These challenges are described in full in the February 2009 issue of the Harvard Business Review, and are summarized below: In the future, they must facilitate innovation and change. Share the work of setting direction. Management systems must give more power to employees whose emotional equity is invested in the future rather than in the past. Expand the scope of employee autonomy. In May 2008, a group of renowned scholars and business leaders gathered in Half Moon Bay, California, with a simple goal: to lay out an agenda for reinventing management in the 21st century. The two-day event, organized by the Management Lab with support from McKinsey & Company, brought together veteran management experts such as CK Prahalad , Henry Mintzberg , and Peter Senge ; distinguished social commentators including Kevin Kelly , James Surowiecki and Shoshana Zuboff ; and a number of progressive CEOs, including Terri Kelly from WL Gore , Vineet Nayar from HCL Technologies

  • Did Mark Zuckerberg's Inspiration for Facebook Come Before Harvard?
    Interestingly, the stories we hear these days about Zuckerberg in popular media tend to follow a common sensationalist pattern: "super-smart kid invents a tech phenomenon from his Harvard dorm room, drops out, and changes the world." What's most intriguing about the Zuckerberg story we all know, however, isn't that he dropped out of Harvard and became a billionaire at 23. By now, we are all familiar with Mark Zuckerberg's success story. The explosive international growth of Facebook to over 200 million users continues to land the young founder and CEO in top news stories worldwide.

  • The future of the book
    I just came from a discussion of the future of the book at Harvard, although it was actually more like the propedeutic for that discussion.

During the Q&A, Robert Darnton , Harvard’s head librarian, responded to a criticism of Quite fascinating though. She talked about how printed books were first received: Positively, the printing press was appreciated for the labor it

  • The Once and Future MBA
    Like many stories of its kind, it uses the image of Harvard Business School--literally a picture of the campus--to represent "B-Schools."
