Argumentative Cause & Effect Reports & Interpretive Analytical Definition Compare & Contrast Informative / Descriptive Guidelines for HBR Authors Harvard Business Review The Harvard Business Review has one goal: to be the source of the best new ideas for people creating, leading, and transforming business. Since its founding in 1922, HBR has had a proud tradition as the world's preeminent management magazine, publishing cutting-edge, authoritative thinking on the key issues facing executives. HBR's articles cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to different industries, management functions, and geographic locations.

Guidelines for HBR.org Authors At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made decisions more strategically and humanely, if people knew how to work together more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. So we try to arm our readers with ideas that help them be smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. If you have a new piece of research, an unexpected perspective on a current event, or an original way of looking at a perennial management problem in any industry, we would love to hear about it. Here’s what we look for, when we’re considering what to publish on HBR.org: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Some notes about our process: We receive many more submissions than we can possibly publish. All submissions are made on spec. Our editorial process is more thorough than many other publishers’.

Scholarly writing has its own set of rules and conventions that are different from those of creative or technical writing. Basic Structure: The introductory paragraph should engage the reader’s interest by setting out clearly the question that the paper is attempting to address, how you plan to address it, and why it is worth addressing in the first place. The thesis statement is a summation of your main point; this should generally appear at the end of the introductory paragraph.
