The Financial Times and McKinsey & Company are delighted to present the tenth annual Business Book of the Year Award 2014 Dinner, to be held at the Victoria and Albert Museum on the evening of Tuesday, 11 November, 2014.
Amid the huge number of business books published around the world every year, a small number stand out for their originality of thought, quality of writing and accessibility of content. These are the books that quickly become a must-read for anyone who is serious about business. The aim of this unique Award is to help identify these titles.
The quality of entries this year has undoubtedly been the strongest in the Award’s ten-year history. Our distinguished group of judges have been reviewing the submissions and have the task of determining which book will be the winner at November’s Award Dinner.
