Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In their startling new book, authors Brown and Eisenhardt contend that to prosper in today's fiercely competitive business environments, a new paradigm--competing on the edge--must be implemented as a new survival strategy. This book focuses on specific management dilemmas and illustrates solutions that work when the name of the game is change.

Book News Annotation:

Links the practical concerns of business managers to some of the most exciting scientific ideas from complexity theory, the nature of speed, and evolution to create a bold new business strategy that harnesses the dynamic nature of change. Draws on research with 12 global businesses and interviews with some 100 managers, and presents real- world examples showcasing these strategies in action.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
