Creating Value from Innovation

摘要

Some corporate executives regard their libraries as black holes that just consume company resources, but thanks to Laura Gordon-Murnane, executives at the Bureau of National Affairs (BNA) know their library actively adds value to the company. As web master for BNA's intranet, Gordon-Murnane creates information tools, databases, and products for the agency's editors and reporters. Toby Mclntosh, managing editor of BNA's Daily Report for Executives, says, "One of the greatest pleasures of working at BNA is when Laura drops into my office and says, 'I have an idea.' Her inventiveness stems from thinking about our publications and our subscribers' needs. A core Laura contribution has been the creation of one-stop-shopping news sites, both for our reporters and subscribers."
