Summary: Very Good Source of Business Information
Comment: Detailed, useful information - every week. Also well-balanced - not afraid to criticize businesses where appropriate.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Timely and informative articles
Comment: There seems to be a great deal of psuedo business magazines. I like the Business Week is hard hitting, and features excellent articles. I always several articles a week in this publication that are worth my time to read. Many publications dummy down business and make it too simple leaving out important details, nuiances that are important, and just assume that the reader isn't intelligent.
Articles are written that are concise, generally filled with the data to support their conclusions. I found this magazine invaluable in business school because it kept me up to date, and often ahead of my classmates. In the business world I find that this magazine is one of the few that keep me informed and well rounded with aspects of business I am not familiar with.
I really feel this is a worthwhile publication if you are looking to stay on top of what is current and important in the business world.

Summary: It's current business news. That's all.
Comment: This is a pretty good magazine. The niche is that it goes out every week and thus is the most current business news magazine out there (if you compare it to Fortune, Forbes...). I always find 3-4 interesting articles there, but don't expect to read cover to cover.

Summary: An excellent periodical
Comment: I've been a BW subscriber for 8 years now, and if the magazine stays as good as it currently is, I see at least 60 more years of subscription.
BW is a very well balanced magazine focusing mainly on business trends and headline news. A majority of their articles are extremely informative, well written, and objective. If there is an opinion piece, it is clearly stated as "Commentary". I enjoy the "Economic Viewpoint" where it alternates between right and left wing economists (Hubbard for Rep., Tyson for Dems). BW is also forward thinking in writing about trend analysis and disecting what the future may bring. There is a good snippet of International business.
A couple weaknesses of the magazine:
-Tech & You column. The guy writes about the same category of gadgets over and over again (mainly PDA & what not). I would like to see more articles about HDTV, laptops, desktops, software, etc. Tech & You appears to be written for either a road-warrior or a technophobe.
-Personal lifestyles section. Seems like the magazine is catering towards a more upscale crowd, writing about exotic vacations and expensive wines that only either a very rich person or a very debt prone person could afford.
I also find the magazine to be weak in covering the retail sector. I'd like to read more full articles about companies average consumers deal with on a weekly basis. The Kmart/Sears deal was largely overshawdowed.
All in all, if I could only choose one magazine to receive, this would be the one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Business Week does not have a liberal agenda
Comment: I have subscribed to Business week for two years now. I suggest that people accusing them of having a liberal agenda reread their past issues. Bush was receiving criticism for not being Republican enough! His deficit spending is the most clear example. Other fiscal conservatives, such as George Will, have criticized the President. Does that mean they are following a liberal agenda? I think not.
