Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-05 00:00:00 Tim Beaty Adam Hartung surveys the fortunes of Fortune 1000 businesses over the past 100 years or so and discovers bad news: companies don't thrive for very long. The Fortune 1000 is a very fluid list. His analysis of why companies don't last is spot on, especially now. They become successful doing something right, but then keep doing that (because it's what they know) even when marketplace conditions change. Hartung advocates the Phoenix Principle -- companies need to reinvent themselves regularly, become flexible, and be ready to do something completely different when necessary. The book is a particularly interesting read in light of the current economic crisis and all the retailers, for example, going out of business. They should have read Hartung's book.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-23 00:00:00 Navinchandra Mehta Focused on innovation as a response to dynamic marketplace effects on economies and companies, this book is an essential read for business people and consultants. I've been introduced to the concept of 'white space' in business... It's a necessary read for managers, business owners and consultants committed to addressing the effects of business growth and evolution.
