Book excerpt: The definitive behind-the-scenes history of video games’ explosion into the twenty-first century and the war for industry power “A zippy read through a truly deep research job. You won’t want to put this one down.”—Eddie Adlum, publisher, RePlay Magazine As video games evolve, only the fittest companies survive. Making a blockbuster once cost millions of dollars; now it can cost hundreds of millions, but with a $160 billion market worldwide, the biggest players are willing to bet the bank. Steven L. Kent has been playing video games since Pong and writing about the industry since the Nintendo Entertainment System. In volume 1 of The Ultimate History of Video Games, he chronicled the industry’s first thirty years. In volume 2, he narrates gaming’s entrance into the twenty-first century, as Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft battle to capture the global market. The home console boom of the ’90s turned hobby companies like Nintendo and Sega into Hollywood-studio-sized business titans. But by the end of the decade, they would face new, more powerful competitors. In boardrooms on both sides of the Pacific, engineers and executives began, with enormous budgets and total secrecy, to plan the next evolution of home consoles. The PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Sega Dreamcast all made radically different bets on what gamers would want. And then, to the shock of the world, Bill Gates announced the development of the one console to beat them all—even if Microsoft had to burn a few billion dollars to do it. In this book, you will learn about • the cutthroat environment at Microsoft as rival teams created console systems • the day the head of Sega of America told the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog to “f**k off” • how “lateral thinking with withered technology” put Nintendo back on top • and much more! Gripping and comprehensive, The Ultimate History of Video Games: Volume 2 explores the origins of modern consoles and of the franchises—from Grand Theft Auto and Halo to Call of Duty and Guitar Hero—that would define gaming in the new millennium.

Mais faut-il y voir une solution miracle ou une grande illusion pour les dirigeants et les managers ? Devons-nous manager différemment grâce ou à cause du digital ? Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, Isabelle et Frédéric Rey-Millet analysent les changements inéluctables qui se profilent pour le manager et le management et proposent des solutions concrètes pour accompagner avec succès les mutations en cours et à venir. Répondant à la question « Comment faut-il manager à l'heure du digital ? », ce guide pratique aborde la révolution numérique sous trois angles : - le management comme métier : ses joies, ses désillusions, ses nouveaux enjeux ; - le management comme discipline : ses nouvelles règles du jeu, les pratiques qu'il faut abandonner, celles qu'il faut transformer et celles qu'il faut inventer ; - le manager en tant qu'homme : lui qui a, plus que jamais, toutes les cartes en main pour progresser, comment peut-il changer ses habitudes, mieux communiquer et trouver un juste équilibre entre jouer individuel et collectif ? Une importante partie de ce livre est consacrée au développement personnel du manager : sa posture, les nouvelles compétences et les bonnes pratiques qu'il devra développer pour se maintenir en forme et préserver un bon équilibre, pour lui-même et pour les autres.

Download or read book The Great Game of Business written by Jack Stack and published by Broadway Business. This book was released on 1994 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Game of Business started a business revolution by introducing the world to open-book management, a new way of running a business that created unprecedented profit and employee engagement. The revised and updated edition of The Great Game of Business lays out an entirely different way of running a company. It wasn't dreamed up in an executive think tank or an Ivy League business school or around the conference table by big-time consultants. It was forged on the factory floors of the heartland by ordinary folks hoping to figure out how to save their jobs when their parent company, International Harvester, went down the tubes. What these workers created was a revolutionary approach to management that has proven itself in every industry around the world for the past thirty years--an approach that is perhaps the last, best hope for reviving the American Dream.
