Summary

The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. Through reflection over the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity and free markets. The Wealth of Nations is a clearly written account of economics at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. The book was a landmark work in the history and economics as it was comprehensive and an accurate characterization of the economic mechanisms at work in modern economics. Smith believed in a Meritocracy. Smith emphasized the advancement that one could take based on their will to better themselves. This is simply one of the most important books ever written on the subject of economics.

    This book is the first strategic guide for multi-national  corporations (MNCs)who are contemplating expanding into both China  and India. Gupta and Wang explain how many MNCs view China and  India solely from the lens of off-shoring and cost-reduction, and  focusing their marketing strategies on only the top 5-10% of the  population.  This is a missed opportunity. China and India are  the only two countries that constitute four realities that are  strategically crucial for the global enterprise:       Both provide mega-markets for almost every product and  service      Both have platforms that will dramatically  reduce the company's global cost structure      Both have platforms that will significantly boost the  company's global technology and innovation base      Both are springboards for the mergence of new fearsome global  competitors.      This book aims to shed light on the brutal competition for  markets and resources in China and India as well as lays out  the strategic action implications for those companies who want to  emerge as the global players of tomorrow.

    The business leader’s toolbox for increasing morale, decreasing turnover, and contributing more than ever to your company’s bottom line
    
     
    “What if you could create a culture where everyone is committed to the greater good of the organization? Sound like a pipe dream? David Cottrell will show you the way . . . .” 
    
    –Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and Lead with Luv
    
     
    How can I help?
    
     
    Isn't that the question every leader longs to hear? What if every person on your team consistently asked you, How can I help? What if your team was totally in sync with and committed to achieving your organizations objectives? What if everyone on your team was willing to leave his or her comfort zone and take a risk to help your team win? Impossible? Unrealistic? Pollyanna? No. The team with the best leader usually wins.
    
     
    
    
     
    Sounds simple ... but what does it take to be the best leader? Often what is missing is the understanding of how to lead others toward a common goal.
    
     
    In its simplest form, leadership comes down to answering six key questions that are important to your team. When your teams needs are being met, they will want to ask you The Magic Question: How can I help?
    
     
    If you depend on results from others, this book is for you. It offers a proven method for creating an atmosphere in which employees willingly give discretionary effort. The Magic Question is not about a new leadership strategy. Strategies come and go. What you will learn in is tried and true regardless of the strategic focus of the time, and the principles apply to businesses in every industry, as well as schools, hospitals, churches, even homes. When you hear The Magic Question, you will know you are on your way to better results and to achieving them faster than ever before.
    
     
    Every team asks the questions. Great leaders have the answers.
