Harvard Business Review

Harvard Business Review is a general management magazine published since 1922 by the Harvard Business School Press, owned by the Harvard Business School. It claims a high ranking business readership and enjoys the reverence of academics, executives, and management consultants. The flat prose, infrequent illustrations, and theoretical subject matter impart a scholarly demeanor, but the magazine is not peer-reviewed and is subscribed to by a more general audience of approximately 250,000 readers.

In 2002, a management and editorial staff shakeup occurred at the publication after the revelation of an affair between editor-in-chief Suzy Wetlaufer and former General Electric CEO Jack Welch. Two senior editors left complaining the affair initiated during Wetlaufer's work with Welch for an article had broken ethical standards and cited an unfair office climate. Shortly after the resignations, Wetlaufer resigned on March 8 amid further rebuke by remaining staff. Three months later, the publisher, Penelope Muse Abernathy, was also forced out.
