Here are seven core articles that explain key principles that, in my opinion, people concerned with strategy should be familiar with:
- “Marketing Myopia,” Theodore Levitt, Harvard Business Review, July-August 1960
- “How Competitive Forces Shape Strategy,” Michael Porter, Harvard Business Review, March-April 1979
- “The Core Competence of the Corporation,” C.K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel, Harvard Business Review, May-June 1990
- “Meeting the Challenge of Disruptive Change’”, Clayton Christensen and Michael Overdorf, Harvard Business Review, March-April 2000
- “The Era of Open Innovation,” Henry W. Chesbrough, MIT Sloan Management Review, Spring 2003
- “Blue Ocean Strategy,” W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, Harvard Business Review, October 2004
- “The Big Idea: The New M&A Playbook,” Clayton Christensen, Richard Alton, Curtis Rising, and Andrew Waldeck, Harvard Business Review, March 2011
