Competitive Strategy : Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors -- Michael E. Porter. Hardcover. 4½ Star Customer Review. Book Description: Competitive Strategy has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Electrifying in its simplicity -- like all great breakthroughs -- Porter's analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies -- lowest cost, differentiation, and focus -- which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. In the almost two decades since publication, Porter's framework for predicting competitor behavior has transformed the way in which companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of competitor assessment.

the Invisible: A Field Guide to Modern Marketing -- Harry Beckwith. Hardcover.
4½ Star Customer Rating. Booklist , March 1, 1997. Advertising
professional Beckwith startles and disarms all potential doubting Thomases with one
fact--that by the year 2005, 8 out of 10 Americans will be working in a service business.
Chapters here are remarkably short; they are intended to convey one point (summarized in
one sentence in boldface italics) and are blessedly free of jargon. Hints and tips cover
the conventional four Ps of marketing--product, promotion, place, and price--in an
irreverent and iconoclastic manner; nothing is sacrosanct. Stories from every corner of
life illustrate and drive home messages. In a quandary about pricing? Read the Picasso
story to remember, "Don't charge by the hour; charge by the years." About the
value of research? Forget questionnaires and focus groups; instead, ask individuals what
improvements are needed--not the dreaded "What don't you like?" A very human,
much-needed book to savor and be refreshed by. Barbara Jacobs The

Jonathan Littman Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy -- Stanley Davis, Christopher Meyer. Hardcover and Paperback. 4 Star Customer Rating. Review: Amazon.com Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy, by Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer, is a shrewd appraisal of the new corporate reality. The authors, who both direct research at the Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation, maintain that "connectivity, speed, and the growth of intangible value" have catapulted business into a period of unprecedented transition that demands immediate and creative attention. Citing disparate examples including Amazon.com, singer David Bowie, and the Beanie Baby toy phenomenon, they show how a willingness to step away from conventional thinking is crucial for continued success. --Howard Rothman --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title.
