Book excerpt: Underdog Thinking is real-life business adventure story that follows the journey of an Indian Immigrant to the U.S. who was told he "didn't know a damn thing about American business." But as opportunity would have it, a short time later he found himself an accidental entrepreneur with a front row ticket to the ins and outs of launching and growing a business. He was flying high on his growing success--until a fateful moment when everything changed. As businesses rise and fall to the tune of supply and demand, sometimes the harshest betrayals come out of nowhere, when you least expect it--as do the surprising sparks of hope. When an unforeseen circumstance initiates a chain of events that leave him at a crossroads he must make the tough call: to give in and give up, or push through and win. CEO, business ethics thought leader, speaker and author Atul Vir has lived that story. And even in the darkest moments when failure seemed most imminent, he drew on the work ethic instilled from his earliest days, and his commitment to do right by his customers--to bring his dream up from the ashes and back to life. In his new book, Underdog Thinking, Vir inspires readers to face any challenge that comes their way--with practical business lessons for every step of the journey gleaned from his experience as both an immigrant building a business and as CEO of Equator Appliances for more than 25 years. The book dives into current themes dominating the business landscape, including: global business, overcoming failure, bootstrapping, securing financing, immigration and what innovation truly means. While many people offer sage advice on these topics, Vir's lessons are paired with a unique, captivating story and more than two decades of entrepreneurial expertise in an industry dominated by much bigger players--major multinational corporations.

Download or read book Business Misadventures written by Jim Kayalar and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Business Misadventures" is a fictionalized nonfiction story on the fascinating subject of entrepreneurial initiative and adventure. This is an engaging account of entrepreneurial thinking, business model design, and evolving competitive strategy. Complex international financing and accounting models and creativity, corporate design, the pursuit of special relationships with stakeholders are presented to the reader in an uncomplicated way. This is not an academic book This is about the dirty gritty methods on how business really works and how business adventure can lead to business misadventures and corporate survival. The storyline helps the reader understand the intricacies of corporate life from the point of view of different stakeholders as the business adventure unfolds. This is not a business book that prescribes solutions to challenges that aren't real challenges. The book tells it like it really is, fiercely candid and realistic. Some of the advice given to business executives is to shun trying to beat your competitors and instead to focus on making their value propositions irrelevant by providing superior value for your customers. In business, there is no one-size solution. A disruptive business initiative that has succeeded in one market at one time may not deliver the same results if at all. Most markets are red ocean markets. They're red because the incumbents compete in the same market and for a larger share of the existing market. Based on their business paradigms they compete for a larger share of the market and adapt strategy if the market grows or contracts. Changes to market size can be indigenous and exogenous and these market shifts in time will give rise to submarkets due to changes to an existing customer or newly acquired customer preferences. Exogenous events or new competitors entering to distort markets and establish profitable market niches can also alter markets and challenge the status quo. The advice given to business leaders is to differentiate themselves from competitors and create a blue ocean for their products & services. The challenge for both challenger and incumbent is to formulate a competitive strategy that best fits their respective business model and resources. This is the story of a nimble challenger using an aggressive albeit classical disruptive strategy to enter and build a defensible market segment and an industry heavyweight incumbent fighting to protect its cash cow position. There is further drama as the story takes place in the Near East with its fast-changing landscape and flexible business practices. This is not an academic book although it's written in case study format utilizing business theory from the resourced based view of the Austrian School of Economics and the practical insights and experience of America's largest private business the Koch Industries and their Market-Based Management. A reading list is presented at the end of the book.
