MASSIVELY JOYSTIQ

Massively Joystiq is a website devoted to MMOs, and their articles for EVE Online are a valuable source of first-hand experiences in corporation management.

EVE CORP MANAGEMENT TOOL

I haven't tried this tool out yet, but it appears to be an independent program that allows you to keep track of in-client corporation tasks while not having to actually run the client.

EVE GUIDES

EVE Guides is exactly what it sounds like - a bunch of guides about EVE.  Most of what's on here seems to be a compilation of the various player-authored guides floating around the internet, but that doesn't mean they're not useful.  In fact, I've found tons of information on this site that I could not find anywhere else.

TEN TON HAMMER

This guide offers a different spin on corp management - from the viewpoint of what players want.  It also identifies good points for a corp's transition from highsec to nullsec.

This list of mining and industry resources is a gold mine of information for anyone wanting to start and indy corp (or be in an indy corp (or just at all interested in industry)).

PVE: PUBLIC VENTURE ENTERPRISES

PVE is an old blog with a lot of good information from a veteran player.  Definitely worth the read.

EVESWARM GUIDE 

Found this guide while searching for more CEO material.  Has most of the basic stuff there, and there is some good advice here from someone who appears to be an experienced CEO.
