API discovers “good enough” is better than best: Christensen shows newspapers how to fight web media challengers

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

An open and democratic society depends on the quality of its newspapers. Whether your local newspaper is a big‐city title like the New York Times or just a little down‐home local like the Anytown Gazette, newspapers function almost as a public service. They report local events, interpret what is happening in the nation or the world and provide a voice for their readers in the “letters” column.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
