I barely have enough time to keep up with my readings of the magazines I subscribe to (The Economist and BusinessWeek), yet I have recently decided to order more magazines. I have read a few Harvard Business Review (HBR) articles as part of the required readings in some of the classes that I took at MIT. A month ago, I caved in and ordered a year's subscription of HBR to try it out. I have already received two issues of HBR and so far, I like what I have read. Most of the articles are written very thoughtfully and certainly has an academic tinge to it. Unlike BusinessWeek, which reports about the latest trends and news in the business world, HBR focuses on findings from the latest research in management science as well as issues that are nascent. Such characterization should be of no surprise since most of the contributing authors are faculty members of established business schools.

These days, I am still trying to make sense of the war and America's foreign policy. More importantly, in a highly globalized world and as a student of policy, I simply can't ignore the political and policy matters at the world stage. So I subscribed to Foreign Affairs, a magazine about international affairs, a month ago (about the same time I subscribed to HBR). Similar to HBR, a good portion of the articles in Foreign Affairs are written by professors as well as prominent players in the international affairs scene. Unfortunately, I have only received my first copy of the magazine yesterday, so I will defer my review of the magazine till a later time.
