Наш эксперт Святослав Бирюлин – преподаватель Русской Школы Управления, бизнес-консультант, эксперт по стратегическому планированию – расскажет о том, что же такое «голубой океан» в понимании авторов. «Голубой океан – это метафора, которую авторы используют для определения зон, свободных от высокой конкуренции. Основная идея книги заключается в том, что большинство владельцев бизнеса барахтаются в „алом океане“. Так они называют зону высокой конкуренции, где очень сложно добиться прибыли. А „голубой океан“ благодаря низкой конкуренции позволяет зарабатывать гораздо больше». Мы привыкли думать, что конкуренция – это символ здорового бизнеса. Однако с каждым годом она становится все более и более напряженной, а борьба за симпатии потребителя – все более ожесточенной. Авторы книги уверены, что нужно отойти в сторону и придумать нечто совершенно новое и нестандартное, чтобы бизнес добился желаемого роста. В «Стратегии голубого океана» представлены подробные инструкции по выведению компании из состояния конкур…

Praise for Lean Accounting Best Practices for Sustainable Integration «Anyone involved in a lean transformation inevitably bumps up against the vagaries of the accounting systems that reward overproduction and waste and seem to punish true improvement.

This volume gathers together some of the best thinkers to take a critical look at traditional cost accounting and defines a path forward to 'lean accounting.'» —Jeff Liker, Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering, University of Michigan «Joe Stenzel has put together a timely compendium of writings from thought leaders in lean accounting.

Times have changed. Long gone are our days of being kings of the manufacturing industry, we are now immersed in the world of ‘service’ where the relationship between an organization and the customer is an integral part of the ‘product’ offering. The nation is suffering from a widespread lack of truly customer-satisfying service. We lack the very thing that we need to make this new paradigm work efficiently: service-ability. Organizations of all kinds are facing high customer churn, serious customer antagonism, loss of consumer confidence and plummeting customer satisfaction. Research shows that totally satisfying the customer is the only thing that will secure loyalty and offer significant competitive advantage. Yet still, on a daily basis we encounter service that frustrates us. Whilst the emergence of technology has no doubt brought efficiency to many areas of business activity, including the third sector, it has led to the standardised and indifferent service we regularly receive.

Величайшие императоры и полководцы, художники, ученые и мыслители, крупнейшие предприниматели и политики стали таковыми благодаря своей интуиции… А любая ошибка или неудача всегда является следствием ее потери, неспособностью прочитывать ее и применять.
Феномен интуиции изучался многими экономическими и философскими школами, однако никому так и не удалось прийти к простоте и естественности рационального понимания и применения интуиции на практике.
Онтопсихологии удалось решить эту задачу, найти рациональный способ прочитывать и применять интуицию в экономике и бизнесе, в науке и искусстве, в любой сфере жизни.
Что такое интуиция, как ее отличать от других сигналов психики, как развивать эту способность, об всем этом вы узнаете в этой книге.
«Интуиция является шедевром, озарением, вершиной человеческого ума в исторической ситуации». А. Менегетти

How Nintendo reclaimed its spot at the top of one of the world's most competitive industries Nintendo was once the dominant force in home video gaming–until Sony and Microsoft pummeled them with powerful new consoles.

The global economic crisis of 2008 was precipitated by a housing market crash, thus highlighting the destabilizing influence of the property cycle upon the wider economy. This timely book by a world authority explores why cycles occur and how they affect the behaviour of real estate markets. The central argument put forward is that growth and instability are inextricably linked, and that building investment acts both as a key driver of growth and as the source of the most volatile cyclical fluctuations in an economy. The role of building cycles in both economic growth and urban development is explored through a theoretical review and a comparative historical analysis of UK and US national data stretching back to the start of the nineteenth century, together with a case study of the development of London since the start of the eighteenth century. A simulation model of the building cycle is presented and tested using data for the City of London office market. The analysis is then broadened to examine the op…

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.
