    • Abstract:
      In 2008, as business increasingly became the news, business publishing showed a growing awareness of the big picture, putting out fewer personality-driven titles. In this list, one will see that business histories embrace recent technological innovation as much as longevity. The best management/HR books look at the big picture through pushing teamwork, communication, and companywide methods over individual talent. Globalization titles consider the future, including Asia's growing influence and the move to more cautious and informed decision-making, while books covering the basics at home advocate taking entrepreneurial chances. Change was in the air in 2008. The forecast for 2009 is for titles offering survival tactics for making it through the downturn, as well as for faster publishing turnarounds to reflect better the volatile marketplace. (Contains 37 resources.)
