Для успешного ведения бизнеса одних только товаров уже недостаточно, как утверждают авторы этой книги. Потребители, уставшие от стандартизированной продукции, стремятся получить товар, созданный специально для них, да еще соответствующий их внутреннему миру. Поэтому, по мнению авторов, в настоящее время зарождается новая экономика – экономика впечатлений, ориентированная на ощущения потребителя. В контексте этой экономики авторы предлагают отказаться от традиционных отношений между компанией и клиентами; вместо этого компания должна стать «режиссером впечатлений», а клиенты – «зрителями» или «гостями». В книге рассматриваются принципы успешной постановки впечатлений, а также театральные приемы, которые может использовать компания. Большое внимание уделяется чрезвычайно эффективному инструменту повышения потребительской ценности – массовой персонализации, а также формам потребительской уступки.

The ultimate playbook for using artificial intelligence to communicate effectively, build teams, and win customers Not long ago, we imagined a hyper-connected world full of trust and openness—a world where effortless communication would bring about a new understanding between people everywhere. Judging from our current environment, this vision of the future may have been overly optimistic. With infinite channels and countless voices flooding them with messages, most people have become highly skeptical and guarded by necessity. As a result, communication is much harder than ever before. Despite the unprecedented connectivity enabled by modern technology, we are far less likely to trust and to invest the time needed to build strong relationships. How can we use technology to reverse this trend? A groundbreaking new branch of artificial intelligence—Personality AI—may be the answer. Combining traditional machine learning, data analytics, and behavioral psychology, Personality AI helps professional communicat…

Tap into the power of the most popular stochastic volatility model for pricing equity derivatives Since its introduction in 1993, the Heston model has become a popular model for pricing equity derivatives, and the most popular stochastic volatility model in financial engineering.

Discover why being a «fast second» is often more financially rewarding than being at the cutting edge. If you get there first, you'll lead the pack, right? Not necessarily! The skill-sets of most established companies, say strategy experts Constantinos Markides and Paul Geroski, are far better suited to scaling up newly created markets pioneered by others (in other words, being «fast seconds») than to creating these markets from scratch. In Fast Second, they explore the characteristics of new markets, describe the skills needed to create and compete in them, and show how these skills match up with different types of companies. Drawing on examples of successful fast-second firms such as Microsoft, Amazon, Canon, JVC, Heinz, and many others, they illustrate how to determine which new markets have the potential to be successful and how to move into them before the competition does, when to make a move into a new market, how to scale up a market, where to position a company in the market, and whether to be a …
Bestselling author and professor Ted Malloch calls for real financial reform to restore confidence and fairness to a broken system From Ponzi schemes to the credit crisis to the real estate bubble, the financial industry seems to have lost its way on the road to riches. As private greed continues to undermine the public good, one might wonder what ever happened to business ethics. And how can we reform the global financial system to benefit everyone, rather than just the very lucky few? In The End of Ethics and the Way Back, the bestselling author of Doing Virtuous Business teams up with attorney and Yale University Postdoctoral Fellow, Jordan Mamorsky to examine the most recent failures of business virtue, prudence, and governance—from Bernie Madoff to Jon Corzine and MF Global—before offering a set of structural and holistic solutions for our current ethical crisis in global finance.

A behind-the-scenes look at Lexus’s surprising twenty-year success story—in a revised new edition In the 1980s, German brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz dominated the luxury car market and had little reason to fear competition from Japan. But in 1989, Toyota entered the market with the Lexus LS 400, a car that could compete with the Germans in every category but price—it was US$30,000 cheaper. Within two years, Lexus had overtaken Mercedes-Benz in the United States and made a stunning success of Toyota’s brave foray into the global luxury market.

Under IFRS, U.S. GAAP, and the SEC rules and regulations, business enterprises must recognise measure and disclose information regarding equity items on the face of the statement of financial position, other specific statements, or in the notes to the financial statements.

This book clarifies the process of reporting stockholders’ equity in a manner which can be reconciled under all the relevant standards. “Not only has the author addressed the informational needs of the players in the accounting industry, he has also drawn, based on his vast experience, practical implications of reporting under both standards.” —Noraini Mohd Nasir, Journal of Financial Reporting and Accounting

О книге
Люди – основное конкурентное преимущество любой успешной компании, потому что бизнес-процессы и продукты можно скопировать. Результативность организации складывается из результативности всех ее сотрудников. Иногда в компании работают опытные, ответственные профессионалы, но их общая результативность невысока.
Почему так происходит? Ответ знают Марк Армстронг и Анжела Бэрон, консультанты британского Королевского института персонала и развития. В книге «Управление результативностью. Система оценки результатов в действии» они рассказывают о том, что делать руководителю, чтобы его команда начала приносить тот результат, на который в действительности способна.

Пришло время изменить свой взгляд на конкуренцию, рост и лидерство – то есть на экосистему бизнеса в целом. Рон Аднер предлагает новый способ мышления и иллюстрирует прорывные идеи убедительными примерами.
Сегодня соперничество компаний выходит за рамки отраслей. Вместо банковского дела – весь финтех, вместо телевидения – потоковое видео как таковое. В новом мире победа по старым правилам конкуренции может означать проигрыш.
Только сосредоточившись на конкуренции во всей экосистеме (а не в рамках своей отрасли) Wayfair и Spotify спаслись от разгрома гигантами Amazon и Apple. Лишь расширив границы своей индустрии, Опра Уинфри превратилась из телеведущей в мультимедийного магната. Мышление категорией экосистем позволило Microsoft возродить облачные технологии. Каждая из этих побед основана на новом подходе к конкуренции, который вы можете применить к своей организации.
Книга эксперта по стратегическому планированию Рона Аднера познакомит вас с необходимыми концепциями и инструментами и поможет разработать с…
