The Best Business Books That Are Shaping the Future

Today’s business students are tomorrow’s business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. So DegreeQuery thought it would be a good idea to find out what books are shaping the minds that will shape our future. Using data from Open Syllabus, DegreeQuery researchers identified the most assigned business books at public schools and Ivy League colleges.
And although no books appear on both lists, they still found some big overlaps in the subject matter. For example, Ivy League and Public Schools both put a strong emphasis on leadership skills. The Essentials of Organizational Behavior by Stephen Robbins and Organizational Culture and Leadership by Peter Schein made it onto the Ivy League’s most popular reading list.
At the same time, public school students are learning the art of effective management from Daniel Goleman’s insightful collection of essays, What Makes a Good Leader: Why Emotional Intelligence Matters. Goleman’s often cited work combines business strategy with the latest neuroscientific research to create a data-led approach to boosting performance, fostering effective relationships, and encouraging innovation.
“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” – Stephen Covey
And both public and private Ivy League schools are making sure that future business leaders understand a company’s greatest resource – its people. Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation is one of the most assigned pieces of reading at the Ivy League. First published in 1943, A Theory of Human Motivation is a classic paper on what Maslow called the hierarchy of needs – a vital theory in developmental psychology for understanding human motivation.
Peter Senge, a senior lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), explores Maslow’s ideas in The Fifth Discipline. A fixture on public school reading lists across the states, Senge’s book argues that enabling employees to achieve personal mastery is one of the quickest ways to make any business a success.
