I wouldn't wind myself up too hard about something in HBR. HBR's editorial policy seems to boil down to the following: 1) If America sucks at something, it's because Americans are dolts and/or the US government is run by incompetents. 2) If American is good at something, it's because American businessmen are geniuses whose excrement tastes like truffles. It's possible that both 1 and 2 are true for a given piece one might find on HBR, but their pattern suggests propaganda, and we already have Fox News, thankyouverymuch.
