Summary

In the past few years, a number of well-known firms have failed; think of Blockbuster, Kodak, or RadioShack. When we read about their demise, it often seems inevitable—a natural part of "creative destruction." But closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: Companies large and small are shuttering more quickly than ever. What does it take to buck this trend? 
 
The simple answer is: ambidexterity. Firms must remain competitive in their core markets, while also winning in new domains. Innovation guru Clayton M. Christensen has been pessimistic about whether established companies can prevail in the face of disruption, but Charles A. O'Reilly III and Michael L. Tushman know they can! The authors explain how shrewd organizations have used an ambidextrous approach to solve their own innovator's dilemma. They contrast these luminaries with companies which—often trapped by their own successes—have been unable to adapt and grow. 
 
Drawing on a vast research program and over a decade of helping companies to innovate, the authors present a set of practices to guide firms as they adopt ambidexterity. Top-down and bottom-up leaders are key to this process—a fact too often overlooked in the heated debate about innovation. But not in this case. Readers will come away with a new understanding of how to improve their existing businesses through efficiency, control, and incremental change, while also seizing new markets where flexibility, autonomy, and experimentation rule the day.

    Regardless of how big your company is, where you are located, or what industry you’re in, it is essentially a “machine” that takes in revenue and, when working properly, throws off profits. But is the machine you’ve built valuable to someone else? No matter how much planning you’ve already done or haven’t done, there are probably aspects of preparing your company for sale, and going through the M&A journey, that you’re unaware of. That’s to be expected; you’re likely not an MBA from Harvard with decades of M&A experience. This will be your one big M&A transaction and you need to get it right. This book will help you understand what you need to do and how you need to do it, so you can successfully sell your business and move on to the next stage of your life!

    When Jesus Calls - Transforming...

    Where is God in my business? – Time poor; losing control; best employee gone; marriage breaking up. It shouldn’t be like this… 
    You’re right, it shouldn’t – and it doesn’t have to be. 
    Typically as Christian business owners we sense something’s missing. We build solid, commercial businesses, applying Christian values and morality into them because that’s what you do, right? Yet we’re dissatisfied. Our very gut tells us that good morals and values, whilst a familiar starting point just isn’t enough. Surely there’s got to be more! Businesses we grow with God…can’t they be transformingly different so, instead of draining us, they become exciting, energising to operate? 
    In When Jesus Calls: Transforming businesses into expressions of God’s Kingdom, the invitation of Jesus is reissued to entrepreneurs: align your business with the Kingdom of God. It’s a gentle wooing by God’s Spirit. An invitation so attractive and outrageous that you’re drawn beautifully into His realm of possibilities. Where God Himself takes the lead as CEO of your business, powerfully renovating it into what He knows it can be. 
    Peter Lawry (recognised by peers as one of the top SME Business Strategists and improvement specialists in New Zealand) has lived it and proved God’s faithfulness. So have the many Christian business women and men he’s interviewed. This book tells their stories; and shares how your business can undergo awe-inspiring transformation too. 
    Reading When Jesus Calls is a profoundly life-changing journey. Peter doesn’t peddle unrealistic promises. He shares clear Biblical truth and life in the Spirit for business, in such an easy-to-grasp way – through stories. 
    Start reshaping your business into one that really matters. Invest in When Jesus Calls today.

    Deeply sourced within Obama's economic team, Noam Scheiber is uniquely qualified to profile the squad of elite administration insiders who have set and managed the president's economic policies from before the start of his term in office, through the crisis, and into our current prolonged recovery. These are people we know-or think we know: Obama, Geithner, Summers, Orszag, and a host of others.Scheiber shares his profound understanding of each member of the group, examining how they work-or don't work-as a team, peeling back the layers of each personality while revealing the pragmatism, vision, and blind spots each has in the fight to resurrect the American economy. Along the way, he sorts out the truth from the myths and the tactical finger-pointing that surround the recent worldwide financial meltdown.Here, egos compete, personalities clash, and ideas do battle. Never before have we seen such a crystal-clear, in-depth look at the way economic power is wielded at the highest levels in our nation-in Washington, on Wall Street, and in their effects on millions of households in America.This book will become the key to understanding whether the Obama team will succeed in bringing us back from the brink of economic ruin-or whether they have set us up for another crisis.
