Summary

The acclaimed author of Strategic Capitalism presents a provocative new vision of global industry in the age of 3-D printing: “essential business reading” (Kirkus, starred review). With books like Hypercompetition and Strategic Capitalism, Richard D’Aveni has established himself as a business strategist of uncanny prescience. In The Pan-Industrial Revolution, he demonstrates how the advent of industrial‑scale 3‑D printing is already happening under the radar, and that it will have a far‑reaching impact that most corporate and governmental leaders have yet to anticipate or understand. 3-D printing, now called additive manufacturing, has moved far beyond a desktop technology used by hobbyists to churn out trinkets and toys. In this eye-opening account, D’Aveni reveals how recent breakthroughs have been secretly adapted by Fortune 500 companies to revolutionize the manufacture jet engines, airplanes, automobiles, and so much more. D’Aveni explains how this technology will transform the landscape of manufacturing, and the dramatic effect this change will have on the world economy. A handful of massively powerful corporations—what D’Aveni calls pan‑industrials—will become as important as any tech giant in re-structuring the global order.

    There is little debate that health care in the United States is in need of reform. But where should those improvements begin? With insurers? Drug makers? The doctors themselves? In Big Med, David Dranove and Lawton Robert Burns argue that we’re overlooking the most ubiquitous cause of our costly and underperforming system: megaproviders, the expansive health care organizations that have become the face of American medicine. Your local hospital is likely part of one. Your doctors, too. And the megaproviders are bad news for your health and your wallet. 
     
    Drawing on decades of combined expertise in health care consolidation, Dranove and Burns trace Big Med’s emergence in the 1990s, followed by its swift rise amid false promises of scale economies and organizational collaboration. In the decades since, megaproviders have gobbled up market share and turned independent physicians into salaried employees of big bureaucracies, while delivering on none of their early promises. For patients this means higher costs and lesser care. Meanwhile, physicians report increasingly low morale, making it all but impossible for most systems to implement meaningful reforms. 
     
    In Big Med, Dranove and Burns combine their respective skills in economics and management to provide a nuanced explanation of how the provision of health care has been corrupted and submerged under consolidation. They offer practical recommendations for improving competition policies that would reform megaproviders to actually achieve the efficiencies and quality improvements they have long promised. 
     
    This is an essential read for understanding the current state of the health care system in America—and the steps urgently needed to create an environment of better care for all of us.

    Lean Startup: Essential guide to build your lean startup and how to start step-by-step (lean, lean startup marketing) 
    Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and gets the desired product to customers' hands faster. The Lean Startup method teaches you how to drive a startup - how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere - and grow a business with maximum acceleration. 
    Too many startups begin with an idea for a product that they think people want. Then They spend months, sometimes years, perfecting that product without ever showing the product, even in a very rudimentary form, to the prospective customer. 
    When they fail to reach broad uptake from customers, it is often because they never spoke to prospective customers and determined whether or not the product was interesting. When customers ultimately communicate, through their indifference, that they don't care about the idea, the startup fails. 
    Using the Lean Startup approach, discussed in this book, companies can create order:Picking the right type of Lean StartupLean approachStartup operations managementNiche marketing 
    Lean isn't simply about spending less money. Lean isn't just about failing cheaply. It is about putting a process, a methodology around the development of a product.

    A corporate gift is a gift purchased for employees, executives, stockholders or customers of a business. Corporate gifts may be purchased for many different reasons. The first and foremost function of the corporate gift is to provide a means of thanking people for their contributions to your company. This may be thanking employees for all their hard work, or thanking clients for their business. Providing people with a gift of thanks is an excellent means of ensuring clients will provide you with return business, and will also aid in keeping staff morale high. 
    Gifts to clients (particularly gifts that will last for a substantial amount of time and will be able to be used on a repeated basis) will ensure that your customer will be reminded of your services on a frequent basis. This will increase chances of repeat business with that client and will also increase chances of referrals for your business. When providing corporate gifts for customers and clientele, many companies opt for small, useful items that are emblazoned with the company logo. By providing such items, it is possible to obtain repeat business, new business and new business through referrals, as the company logo is able to remain present in the minds of those who receive the corporate gift. 
    A promotional gift is a great way to ensure that you will be the company people call when a particular service is required. Studies have shown that these types of personalized corporate gifts are an excellent means of increasing response rates, and of improving the profile of your company. Corporate gifts are included under the customer service category. By providing your clientele with a gift, not only will it serve to thank them for their business, it will also serve as a means of building rapport to ultimately gain their repeat business, loyalty and to hopefully encourage them to refer your name on to others requiring a particular service.
