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.
Download or read book Small business Big game written by Alexander Visotsky and published by VISOTSKY CONSULTING INC. This book was released on with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about how to come up with a brilliant business idea, but about how to organize the work of a company so that its employees function as a genuine team and are capable of implementing a worthwhile idea. Experience shows that the brilliance of an idea is undoubtedly a plus, but if you look around carefully, you will find that most flourishing companies are not actually based on any revolutionary idea. What is revolutionary about McDonald's fast food, Starbucks coffeehouses, or products sold by the majority of chain supermarkets? Every business has its own expertise, of course, but the most successful companies offer their clients fairly ordinary products. Why then, of hundreds of competing fast-food chains, have only a few achieved great success, and of hundreds of grocery stores, why have only a few grown into large chains? In most cases, the secret is not in some special know-how or secret formula; it is in how a company is run.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the difference between the duties of a business owner and the duties of a senior executive in a company? If you are a business owner, you probably have already asked yourself this question. But at the same time you may have never seen a complete, detailed, step-by-step description of all the basic duties of a business owner of a typical company. The author of this book is an entrepreneur and a practical man who has established a few successful companies. His description of each individual duty of a business owner is amazingly simple and systematic. It is astonishing how easy and applicable these descriptions are in real life. Each duty is described in a separate chapter with many examples from different business areas. Undoubtedly this book can be called the first professional manual for a business owner of any company. “The book, which you have in your hands, is written for those who started their business, encountered some difficulties and is searching for a way to succeed. The author of this book, Alexander Visoltsky, is not a theoretic who is talking about business at the desk. He is practician, who generalized the extensive experience of running his own business. His observations and recommendations are very useful for those who start this exciting game called “Business.” Small business is not simple at all! It is difficult to run a small business because it creates a lot of problems an owner has to solve. It has a lack of resources and possibilities and big staff turnover. The only solution is skillful and modern management. One needs to create a successful company. But how? At the beginning of his activity the author did not have an idea of how to manage. How to restore order in "your home", organize work and beat competitors. He decided to figure it out and help others. The author proposes solutions based on his experience. These solutions are results of his efforts of solving problems he encountered in his business. They turned out to be typical for all small companies. If you want your business to be successful, use solutions this book gives you!”—A.V Doctor of Economics, Professor “Dear Alexandr! I had read “A Job Description For The Business Owner” book and decided to write down my opinion. This book is not just relevant. I consider that any business owner, despite his achievements, needs this book like air. It is written in simple language. Today not many business companies have “personal face” and your book will help a lot of people to make up their mind and change their viewpoint on the world of “money”. I think it will become a handbook for those who had read it thoughtfully – this is the highest mark for a book and an author. I wish you prosperity, continue creating!”—A.K Owner

Download or read book Small Giants written by Bo Burlingham and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How maverick companies have passed up the growth treadmill — and focused on greatness instead. It’s an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside fourteen remarkable companies that have chosen to march to their own drummer. They include Anchor Brewing, the original microbrewer; CitiStorage Inc., the premier independent records-storage business; Clif Bar & Co., maker of organic energy bars and other nutrition foods; Righteous Babe Records, the record company founded by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco; Union Square Hospitality Group, the company of restaurateur Danny Meyer; and Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, including the world-famous Zingerman’s Deli of Ann Arbor. Burlingham shows how the leaders of these small giants recognized the full range of choices they had about the type of company they could create. And he shows how we can all benefit by questioning the usual definitions of business success. In his new afterward, Burlingham reflects on the similarities and learning lessons from the small giants he covers in the book.
