Companies succeed or stall on everyday things: the culture that workplace interactions build, the trust that holds remote teams together, the way a team chooses to communicate, and leaders who miss the next big change. Each curation takes one of these problems and shows where it goes wrong.
Business communication is sharing information internally between employees or externally between businesses or with consumers to help a business achieve a fundamental goal. What is the right way to communicate in different business situations, and how can you choose it? The lessons consider how communication choices shape the clarity, direction, and effectiveness of business exchanges.
Workplace culture is the shared norms, values, and behaviors in an organization that reflect its core values and strategic direction. What can everyday interactions help you understand about how culture takes shape and how people behave at work? The lessons connect interactions with the patterns and standards that shape working life.
Public relations is managing and sharing information from a person or organization with the public to influence how they see it, and most textbooks regard the Publicity Bureau's establishment in Boston in 1900 as marking the founding of the profession. The lessons answer how publicity earns media coverage and help readers understand the choices and relationships involved.
Remote team management concerns groups or teams that work together asynchronously or across organizational levels; Powell, Piccoli and Ives (2004) define virtual teams as "groups of geographically, organizationally and/or time dispersed workers brought together by information and telecommunication technologies to accomplish one or more organizational tasks."
Disruptive technology creates a new market or enters at the bottom of an existing one, eventually displacing established firms, products, and alliances, and Clayton Christensen and his collaborators popularized the term disruptive innovation beginning in 1995. The lessons answer why leaders miss disruptive markets and help readers understand why established firms may struggle to pursue them.
