  Lean Analytics: Focus On Data That Really Matter For Your Business (lean, data analytics, business analytics) 
  Lean Analytics opens up the world of collecting and analyzing data to new entrepreneurs, by showing them how to use data as a powerful tool without getting consumed from it to build, launch and grow their startup faster while focusing on the right metrics. Without data, any good entrepreneur will lie to themselves about how good their business really is. 
  Building a company successfully comes down to finding the golden middle between believing in your dream and building something the world actually needs, and data is the balancing pole that lets you walk on this tightrope. 
  Much of Lean Analytics is about finding a meaningful metric, then running experiments to improve it until that metric is good enough for you to move on to the next problem or the next stage of your business. 
  In a startup, you don't always know which metrics are key, because you're not entirely sure what business you're in. You're still trying to find the right product or the right target audience. In a startup, the purpose of analytics as discussed in this book is to find your way to the right product and market before the money runs out.Workforce analyticsLean ThinkingHow to use analytical dataLean Thinking and KPI

  This is a cross-over book with appeal to business people  interested in what makes entrepreneurs succeed (because of its  practical guidelines and real-world stories), combined with clear  usefulness as a study guide (because of its comprehensive coverage  of the key issues, with study exercises).  The scope of the  book covers distinctive questions in entrepreneurship, such as what  gives rise to entrepreneurial opportunity;   how to  exploit trends;  what is the role of innovation / originality;  what is execution / implementation, and s role in business  success;  what do established SMEs do to survive in the middle  term?     This is a book especially useful for the MBA and professional  market.  It assumes a level of interest and engagement, but  gives clear accounts of concepts and processes so that anyone can  come on board.     This market does not require a textbook of the traditional kind  that seeks to give an even handed exposition of all relevant  material.  The need is rather for something that is more  selective, more purposeful and even more inspirational.     Above all it needs to contain a plausible action sequence.   The present book does this, implicitly through the chapters and  explicitly in the last chapter.     The scope of this book is to concentrate on some key issues:    What gives rise to entrepreneurial opportunity?  How it is possible to exploit trends, and what are these  trends?  What is the role of innovation/originality?  How do companies get started and become self-sustaining?  What is execution, does it differ from  implementation, and what is its role in business success?  What do established SMEs (small and medium sized companies) do  to survive in the middle term, and even across family  generations?    The aim is to raise understanding of these issues by working  through a variety of examples, mainly from smaller and/or newer  companies in Britain and the USA.  Further, to generalise from  these companies I have researched.  To emphasize throughout  the positioning and behaviour likely to lead to success.     The book raises understanding of these issues by working through  a variety of examples from USA, Britain and Europe.  It shows  the dynamics of enterprise creation and its development over time,  flagging up what seems to work and favour success.     Each chapter ends with a set of examples and exercises for the  student. The book ends with a glossary of terms and as it unfolds  the book has a clear sequence of (10) actions or steps that  characterize the successful .small business.     TOC  Patterns in Entrepreneurial Opportunity  Something New  Reconfiguration  Riding Trends  Biography and Capability  Take Off to Cruising Altitude  Entry Barriers  A New Life, A Longer Life  Industry Dynamics  Patterns of Development  Chain Reactions

  Masters of Management - How the...

  In 1996, having completed a two-year research study, longtime Economist journalists and editors John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge published The Witch Doctors, an explosive critique of management theory and its legions of evangelists and followers. The book became a bestseller, widely praised by reviewers and devoured by readers confused by the buzzwords and concepts the management “industry” creates. At the time, ideas about “reengineering,” “the search for excellence,” “quality,” and “chaos” both energized and haunted the world of business, just as “the long tail,” “black swans,” “the tipping point,” “the war for talent,” and “corporate responsibility” do today.For decades, since the rise of MBA programs on campuses across the country, the field of management has operated in a dubious space. Many of its framers clamor for respect within the academy while making millions of dollars pedaling ideas, some brilliant and some nonsensical, in speeches, consulting arrangements, and books.Although The Witch Doctors was a damning critique (“a scalpel job,” according to the Wall Street Journal), it also argued that much of management theory is valuable—making companies more effi-cient and productive, improving organizational life for workers, and providing sound ways for companies to innovate while defending more entrenched plans. Building upon all that made the original such a phenomenal success, this fully revised and updated edition, Masters of Management, takes into account the rise of the Internet, the growing power of emerging markets, the Great Recession of 2008, and the more recent developments in management theory. The result is an indispensable volume for any manager.
