Summer Reading List
BusinessWeek has published its suggested summer reading list for MBA students. While it promotes the list as guide to stay on top of the current business zeitgeist, they also include a lot of classics (Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack) and recent hits such as The World is Flat and Freakonomics. What is particularly interesting is that Dan Roam’s Back of the Napkin made the list. I had the pleasure of listening to an excellent session from Dan at Vizthink 2008 in San Francisco. He’s an exceptionally sharp visual thinker and it’s nice to see BusinessWeek recognizing that visual thinking has earned some mind share in the business world. Not surprisingly, Dan has the best summary of the reading list, in a visual format of course.
