  50 Business Models of the New Economy. Lessons from Unicorn Companies tells the vibrant stories of 50 companies that emerged in the last 20-30 years, whose business models allowed them to achieve billion-dollar (and sometimes multi-billion-dollar) valuations. They're different from old-school companies because they were all about new tech and connecting with customers right from the start. 
  The essence of each company's business, its history, monetization principles, financial information, and what makes people love it is clearly described in this business book. It's important to note that these companies are from various market sectors with diverse business models, so you're bound to find something useful for your own business. 
  But this book on business success goes beyond merely presenting company details. By analyzing their growth and operations, the authors have formulated 'unicorn lessons'—principles that can help others make their companies equally successful. Even from this small selection at the end of the book, one can trace socioeconomic trends entrepreneurs can rely on when developing their business models.

  A STORY OF CONSCIOUS CULTURE LEADERSHIP 
  Leaders make profound contributions to the world by creating environments where people thrive so they can be the best that they can be. This can only happen in businesses with a culture of excellence. Over time, the ripple effect of culture-conscious leadership extends beyond the walls of the workplace culture and into the lives, families, and communities of all the employees, customers, and vendors. Despite the measurable returns on culture, however, many leaders don’t necessarily know how to create a great culture. Until now. Culture is our business. 
  Following the success of The Culture Fix(tm). Will Scott offers this fabled version that works through the step-by-step process of Culture FulfillmentTM. In this story, Andy, our business coach and Actuator, goes into troubled Everco and transforms the company’s organizational performance, fortunes, and employee happiness. In just months, through a complete renovation, Everco’s culture is brought alive, made to thrive, and used to drive performanceTM.

  In this fourth volume of The Deals of Warren Buffett, we trace Buffett’s journey as he made Berkshire Hathaway the most respected company in the world.When we left Buffett at the end of Volume 3 towards the end of the 1990s, he was leading the largest corporation in America and his personal fortune had reached $40 billion. In this enthralling next instalment, we follow Buffett’s investment deals over the first few years of the 21st century, as Berkshire grew to become a giant with annual profits north of $4 billion.Buffett, then in his early 70s, was still tap dancing to work, thoroughly enjoying analysing companies, finding bargains and interacting with his growing team of managers.By studying the decision-making that went into his investment deals and the successful and unsuccessful outcomes, we can learn from Buffett and become better investors ourselves.During this period, exploiting the low prices following the dot-com crash, Buffett made investments in the following companies: MidAmerican Energy, CORT, Moody’s, H&R Block, Shaw Industries, Star Furniture, Jordan’s Furniture, Ben Bridge Jeweler, Justin Boot, Acme Brick, Benjamin Moore and CTB.For each of these deals, investing expert and Buffett historian Glen Arnold dives into unprecedented detail to analyse the investment rationale, the stories of the individuals involved and, where possible, the profits Buffett made.

  The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools, and a three-decade career in the US Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later. The ever-increasing levels of responsibility served to teach new lessons.
