Big Thinkers Now Taking Questions

Readers of BNET's Big Think -- our blog of business books and management ideas -- will have noticed some changes in recent days. In addition to providing insight into the best new business books, Michael Fitzgerald is delving into the minds of business thinkers and authors with his series "5 Questions for... " Michael has recently interviewed Mohamed El-Erian, author of "When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change," and Steve Weinberg, author of "Taking on the Trust: The Epic Battle of Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller." Look for more "5 Questions for" posts starring prominent business leaders, entrepreneurial visionaries and management gurus.

Have a management meister you'd like Michael to interview? Let him know.

We've also added a new occasional feature, the "Biz Book Death Match," which pits two or more books that cover similar subject matter against each other -- and declares a winner.

Lastly, we've re-organized certain book reviews, so that you can get the information that's most important at a glance. (Hey, Michael Fitzgerald stays up late reading business and management books so you don't have to!)
