Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Download or read book Free to Fail written by Arjen van Witteloostuijn and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging book tackles one of the most fundamental questions in economics: Why are commercial organizations more efficient than organizations in the public domain? It is generally accepted that the traditional answer (the fact that commercial organizations maximize profits) does not necessarily hold true. Finding a solution to this anomaly, as this book attempts to do, should therefore be a prime concern in economics. The authors believe the answer lies in the fact that even in a completely stable environment, all organizations will eventually fail irreparably. Organizations operating in the market are more efficient because, once in decline, they are Ôfree to failÕ and allowed to be disassembled or even replaced. Public organizations that fail are more often than not protected and allowed to continue even though their efficiency is questionable. This fascinating and thought-provoking book will provide a stimulating read for academics and students with an interest in economics, business and management and public policy.
Download or read book We Could Not Fail written by Richard Paul and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space Age began just as the struggle for civil rights forced Americans to confront the long and bitter legacy of slavery, discrimination, and violence against African Americans. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson utilized the space program as an agent for social change, using federal equal employment opportunity laws to open workplaces at NASA and NASA contractors to African Americans while creating thousands of research and technology jobs in the Deep South to ameliorate poverty. We Could Not Fail tells the inspiring, largely unknown story of how shooting for the stars helped to overcome segregation on earth. Richard Paul and Steven Moss profile ten pioneer African American space workers whose stories illustrate the role NASA and the space program played in promoting civil rights. They recount how these technicians, mathematicians, engineers, and an astronaut candidate surmounted barriers to move, in some cases literally, from the cotton fields to the launching pad. The authors vividly describe what it was like to be the sole African American in a NASA work group and how these brave and determined men also helped to transform Southern society by integrating colleges, patenting new inventions, holding elective office, and reviving and governing defunct towns. Adding new names to the roster of civil rights heroes and a new chapter to the story of space exploration, We Could Not Fail demonstrates how African Americans broke the color barrier by competing successfully at the highest level of American intellectual and technological achievement.
Download or read book Will America Fail written by Ryan A. Houck and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will America fail? That question has surged to the forefront of our nation’s escalating culture war. The fear of “American decline” has emerged as the recurring hot topic on primetime cable news programs and daytime talk radio shows. Public opinion polls routinely report that once-devoutly hopeful Americans are now more pessimistic than optimistic about our country’s future. Gradually, the fear of American decline has begun to reshape our political DNA. While authors on both ends of the political spectrum have addressed the question of American decline with honesty and depth, even the most thorough and engaging of these works tend to be too academic, too impersonal or too narrowly focused on a single Presidency. Their Baby Boom or Gen-X authors, while often credentialed, hail from conventional political backgrounds with predictable cultural outlooks, rooted in the experiences of Watergate, Vietnam or the Reagan Revolution. Written by Ryan Houck, the narrator, producer and writer of If I Wanted America to Fail—a groundbreaking viral video that quickly earned millions of hits on YouTube—Will America Fail? is a genuinely understandable and relatable book on America’s long-term political future from a fresh, persuasive young source. In the space of only a few days, millions of Americans watched If I Wanted America to Fail. The overnight YouTube sensation roared into the political limelight, gaining national media attention by depicting a bleak, seemingly pessimistic vision of America’s decline. Conservative commentators hailed the video as “brilliant” while Fox News’s Eric Bolling declared it a new “conservative manifesto.” Will America Fail? addresses the gnawing questions that have begun to erode our national confidence, such as: Is America, like Rome before it, destined to crumble and collapse? Have the values of our Founding Fathers become antiquated and unnecessary in the Information Age? Will the 21st Century belong to China or the United States? Is the next generation of Americans prepared to lead? The video, If I Wanted America to Fail, was a dire depiction of our nation’s challenges. However, surprisingly, Will America Fail? makes the case that many of those challenges can and will be overcome within our lifetime. The author’s take on America is decidedly, and surprisingly, optimistic. Will America Fail? is both a “message of hope” from Millennials to Baby Boomers as well as an optimistic, frank and original take on the future of conservatism in the 21st Century. Written in a deeply personal style and filling the vacuum of optimistic conservative literature, Will America Fail? makes the bold prediction that America stands at the threshold of renewal—and that many members of the Millennial Generation will not only live to see it, they will inaugurate it. Unlike most political commentary on bookshelves today, Houck’s message is born of the Information Age. Readers in their twenties and thirties will instantly discover modern ways to connect with the timeless truths of our American Experiment, while older readers will find both a new sense of optimism for our nation’s long-term future as well as a new conservative language that will appeal to their Millennial children. For all generations, Houck’s take is powerfully original—striking the same provocative chord that made If I wanted America to Fail an unqualified success.

Download or read book Set up to Fail Syndrome written by Jean-Francois Manzoni and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have an employee whose performance keeps deteriorating—despite your close monitoring? Brace yourself: You may be at fault—by unknowingly triggering the set-up-to-fail syndrome. Perhaps things started off swimmingly. But then something--a missed deadline, a lost client—made you question the person's performance. You began micromanaging him. Suspecting your reduced confidence, he started doubting himself—and stopped giving his best. You viewed his new behavior as additional proof of mediocrity, and tightened the screws further. In The Set-Up-to-Fail Syndrome, Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux show how this insidious cycle hurts everyone: employees stop volunteering ideas, preventing your organization from getting the most from them; you lose energy to attend to other activities; and your reputation suffers as other employees deem you unfair. Team spirit wilts as targeted performers are alienated. But the set-up-to-fail syndrome doesn't have to happen. The authors provide preventive measures, such as loosening the reins as new employees master their jobs. If the syndrome has already erupted, Manzoni and Barsoux explain how to discuss the dynamic with your employee and reverse the cycle.
Download or read book How to Fail Everything I ve Ever Learned from Things Going Wrong written by Elizabeth Day and published by Fourth Estate. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth's own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us; rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals. Because learning how to fail is actually learning how to succeed better. And everyone needs a bit of that.

Download or read book Wake Up and Live written by Dorothea Brande and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TWO YEARS ago I came across a formula for success which has revolutionized my life. It was so simple, and so obvious once I had seen it, that I could hardly believe it was responsible for the magical results which followed my putting it into practice. Of course I was always looking for a way out of my impasse. But when I actually had the good fortune to find it, I hardly believed in my own luck. At first I did not try to analyze or explain it. But the main reason for my taking so little time to analyze or explain the effects of the formula after I once began to use it consistently was that I was much too busy and having far too much fun. It is in comparison with the hesitant lives we live that the full, normal life that is ours by right seems definitely super-normal. But this book is not the history of the growth of an idea. It is intended to be a practical handbook for those who would like to escape and begin to live happily and well. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.
