Customer Reviews of BusinessWeek

The service is also great. I opted-out of their advertising and third-party mailings with ease. In addition, they hardly ever bother you about anything else (i.e. renewal).

As for the content itself, BusinessWeek is awesome. I always supplement their information with my own research off the internet and with other magazines. However, their latest issues always packs a hefty punch, delivering the most timely news on the economy, job market, currency, etc.

The features are also very important, coming at exactly the most opportune time. When there were calls from Intel chairman, Andrew Grove and IBM Chief Executive, Samuel Palmisano for more innovation in America, BusinessWeek did a whole cover story on the flight of US jobs to India. Their editorial argued that the US needed to invest more in research and education.

The label of "liberal" or "leftist" publication is so laughable. Anyone who reads this magazine knows that the agenda is all about business: any politics in the magazine has to do with its implications on the national and world economy.

To prove there is no lefty agenda, take a look at the recent issues. The BusinessWeek editorial staff is pro-NAFTA, arguing that Mexico bungled its opportunities at creating a more egalitarian society considering its trade success with the US. Also, practically all coverage on globalization offers tidbits of its negative aspects, but always favors expansion and free markets over protectionist measures.

If there's a more appropriate label for BusinessWeek, it would be the "better-balanced, conservative publication." For instance, the market editorial has continually hailed Bush's tax cuts as a reason why markets have been up recently. However, the magazine isn't scared to criticize the President or take comments from those who disagree with him -- i.e. Joseph Stiglitz or Paul Krugman.

If you're looking for a business magazine that is informative yet fun to read (not like Harvard Business Review), than BusinessWeek is simply "The Economist" of US business magazines. Be wary of reading other magazines that love to gloss over CEOs without detailing their flaws --- not what a recent BusinessWeek issue did with Boeing's now ex-CEO, Phil Condit.

Excellent source of information
I have been reading BW for more than 3 years now. Its breadth and depth of coverage of business news is outstanding. Granted that there are tons of other magazines with a much specific focus - Mutual Funds, Personal Finance, etc., but this one provides an overarching view of the business world and how recent events will affect all players. It also provides some analysis of current events - though this is not the strength of the magazine.

My only problem has been that the subscription arrives a bit erratic and often there is not enough time to completely read an issue. Irrespective of which other magazines/business newspaper you read, this one is an absolute must in your list. A great overview of all business news.

Agenda Driven, Content Light.
Businessweek is junk-news. The shrillness of this publication's headlines are so politically driven (liberal) that it has turned me off to this publication as a serious source of business news. Should be renamed Socialist Week.

Information is generally after the fact, and what information they do have is too lacking in substance to be useful.

A waste of money and, even worse, a waste of time. I let my subscription run out.
