Over the last thirty years, corporate fortunes have been made and lost more dramatically than ever before. The most valuable businesses were invented in college dorms and shabby garages, and didn’t even generate revenues let alone profits in their early years. Trillion dollar industries were created right under the noses of then market leaders, who had almost no idea what was happening. Freshman became billionaires much faster than their elder siblings could find their way to the executive suite.
Meanwhile, the world has witnessed the greatest financial crisis in a century, and three quarters of a billion people are now saddled with some of the largest national debts the world has ever seen. With leading companies armed with the most sophisticated financial analytics ever developed, and supported by a new breed of executive coach in the form of management consultants, how could this ever have happened? If the free market was really so effective, how could so much relative value be created or destroyed so rapidly? And if companies were really focussed on shareholders’ long term interests, how could global leaders miss such big opportunities or squander their inheritances so rapidly? This book will help you to make short term decisions that stand the test of time. It will give you new ways to identify the best opportunities and to avoid the pitfalls along the way. Would you spot the $100bn hiding in your garage? Would you know if your company had the supremacy gene? Is there an inflexion point hiding just around the corner which will mean that your low risk short term strategy will turn your organisation to financial dust in under a decade? Who is going to fight hardest to stop you transforming your organisation? |
