In den aktuellen Labnotes des MLab an der London Business School kreisen die Beiträge um Innovationen, innovative Organisationen und CEOs sowie die Frage, wie Innovation zu einem unternehmensweiten Thema wird, an dem sich alle beteiligen. Dazu gibt es eine interessante Lektüreliste, “a compelling Management 2.0 reading list”, von Gary Hamel.

“I hate reading business books. Most are tedious DIY guides that tell you how to keep your customers happy, grow the top line, be a better leader, motivate your employees, find a new strategy, or manage change. Nothing wrong with this if your goal is to wring another few drops of performance out of your overly bureaucratised organisation or cure your chronic insomnia. If, on the other hand, you want to build a genuine performance advantage, you’ll need to read stuff that’s a lot more radical; books that will hammer away at the carapace of your unshakeable beliefs, that are filled with ideas your competitors would regard as irrelevant or utopian.”

Von Mary Parker Follet (”Creative Experience”, 1924) bis Clay Shirky (”Here Comes Everybody”, 2008)
