The Hagley Business History Prize is given for an outstanding book on some aspect of business, "broadly defined". The winner receives a medallion and $2,500. The winners of the Hagley Prize tend to make much more interesting reading than the typical business book - by typical business book, I mean something more clearly aimed at a mass audience and intended to sell a method or narrow point of view. The Latest winner of the Hagley Business History Prize is featured below along with a complete list of all past winners of the prize. We also provide a link to our index of all book awards featured on Happy Dead Trees.
