The Well-Timed Strategy: Managing the Business Cycle for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Navarro, Peter, PUBLISHER: Wharton School Publishing, Most companies ignore one of their best opportunities for honing competitive advantage: the opportunity to proactively manage business cycles and economic turbulence. Despite the profound impact that the business cycle has on the fortunes and fate of so many businesses large and small--and the employees and investors that depend on them--you will not find a single book that offers a comprehensive guide to strategically and tactically managing the business cycle. "The Well-Timed Strategy" shows you how to manage not just the business cycle and industry cycles but also today's unprecedented level of macroeconomic turbulence. Peter Navarro shows how to align every facet of business strategy, tactics, and operations to reflect changing business conditions--so you can ride with the business cycle--not get run over. Drawing on hundreds of examples (including such well-known names as Abercrombie and Fitch, Gateway Computers, Anheuser Busch, Proctor and Gamble, Berkshire Hathaway, Southwest Airlines, and the U.S. Navy) Navarro distills clear, simple management principles for managing economic upswings and downswings. The author addresses everything from inventory, production, and supply chain management to marketing, pricing, and long-term capital investment. Navarro presents examples from around the globe, ranging from Broadcom and Cemex to Paccar and Xilinx Chinese real estate developers to U.S. small caps. Clear, concise, and exceptionally readable, "The Well-Timed Strategy" makes complex macroeconomic forecasting easy to understand -- and even easier to act upon.

The Physics of Business Growth: Mindsets, System, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hess, Edward D. / Liedtka, Jeanne, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, Organic business growth is governed by its own natural laws--underlying truths that set the stage for growth and innovation, much in the way that Einstein's law of relativity accounts for the movement of objects in the space-time continuum. The most fundamental law is that uncertainty is the only certainty. Dominating forces are ambiguity and change; the processes at work involve exploration, invention, and experimentation. Unfortunately, these truths run counter to the principles of stability, predictability, and linearity that have long informed the design of our firms. "The Physics of Business Growth" helps readers understand how to create growth in today's business environment, providing them a roadmap and a set of practical tools to navigate its challenges. The book lays out a three step formula that will prove invaluable to professionals who have the opportunity to influence growth now, as well as to tomorrow's growth leaders, guiding them in (1) creating the right employee and organizational mindsets to enable growth (2) building an internal corporate growth system, and (3) putting in place processes that result in identifying opportunities, launching growth experiments, and managing a growth portfolio.
