Magazine Links: 2008-01-13

Here are the 8 magazine articles that I blogged about and borrowed two days ago. Enjoy and happy reading.

  1. Struggles of a Mad Man - Business Week Dec 3, 2007 - A pretty well researched piece about Kevin Roberts
  2. What’s in a Name? Fatter Profits - Very interesting to try to understanding “Largely unknown Taiwan contract manufacturers are trying to reposition themselves as consumer brands”
  3. The Dangerous Wealth of the Ivy League
  4. Can Greed Save Africa? - Interesting chat about micro-lending, etc. Longish article
  5. HP’s Cultural Revolution - BusinessWeek featuring McKinney of HP and Sood of Voodoo PC (now a subsidiary of HP) - Also check out, “Case Study: Yahoo!’s Hot Innovation Incubator - Take a tour of Brickhouse, the online media company’s offsite ideas agency
  6. LeBron Inc. - The building of a billion-dollar athlete [brand]. - Interesting article. Also check out this, LeBron: The next Buffett?
  7. Confessions of a CEO - How Dominic Orr almost ruined his life
  8. Xerox’s dynamic duo - I studied Xerox years ago in a case, so it is interesting to read about them again. Note: this is one article that I finished from the first word till the last one in one sitting during a busy morning. A great read. I may have just added two female role models (Anne Mulcahy and Ursula Burns) to my current list which has Louise Arbour sitting on the top.
