Be careful. HBRticles allow you to go deep down the rabbit hole of amazingly wonderful thought exercises, but you have to think about it via a practical lens: is what you're reading going to do more than simply inspire you and directly translate into the types of results you are hoping for? Unless it involves some massive sea change exercise, the answer is generally no. Nevertheless, this is not to say that on a team or individual level, there aren't practical use cases which are beneficial — there definitely are. For the amount of value one could glean from the articles, though: is it worth the cost? That's only something one could answer on a more subjective level.

When I was doing my MBA they had curated articles from HBR which were great, but most articles (at least the new ones) I’ve seen have been garbage. I’d recommend some of their books of curated articles though.

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
