Publisher's Summary:

'Passion, devotion, conviction, commitment - four words that can change your life.' A.M. Naik In 1964, A.M. Naik, a twenty-two-year-old engineering graduate, chanced upon a recruitment advertisement for Larsen & Toubro. Despite almost botching up his final interview, Naik was hired. 'I've sacked thirty-eight engineers-don't be number thirty-nine' is what Naik's boss T. Baker told him on his first day at work. Thus began an era of relentless hard work, infectious zeal and remarkable achievements, which not only elevated Naik in the L&T hierarchy, but also helped transform the company into a multinational conglomerate with presence in more than fifty countries. What makes Naik the energy powerhouse he is and a workaholic, even at eighty-one? What motivates him to forge selfless relationships? What is it about him that inspires those who work alongside him to walk that extra mile for any assignment? A powerful story of grit and determination, passion and resilience, A.M. Naik: The Man Who Built Tomorrow presents a rare look at the person behind the leader and the many worlds he inhabits-from business and industry to nation-building and philanthropy. What's next for the man whose motto in life is to start walking towards the next goalpost as soon as one is achieved?

Title: Customer Centricity: Focus on the Right Customers for Strategic Advantage (Wharton Executive Essentials)

Author: Peter Fader

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 4 minutes

Release date: July 9, 2024

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

Despite what the old adage says, the customer is not always right. Even companies that can seemingly do no wrong—like the coffeehouse giant Starbucks—have only recently started to figure this out. Starbucks is one of many companies that has successfully executed a pivot that puts the company in a customer-centric mindset, an approach that Wharton professor Peter Fader describes in Customer Centricity. Fader advocates that in the world of customer centricity, there are good customers . . . and then there is pretty much everybody else. In a new preface and afterword to Customer Centricity, Fader reflects on how the landscape has changed over nearly a decade since he first proposed that businesses radically rethink how they relate to customers. Using examples from Starbucks, Nordstrom, and more, Fader provides insights to help you understand why customer centricity is the new model for success in today's data-driven environment; how the ideas of brand equity and customer asset value help us understand what kinds of companies naturally lend themselves to the customer-centric model and which ones don't; why the traditional models for determining the value of individual customers are flawed; how executives can use customer lifetime value (CLV) and other customer-centric data to make smarter decisions about their companies; and more.

Title: Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to Our Superpowered Future

Author: Jeremy Kahn

Narrator: Kyle Tait

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 29 minutes

Release date: July 9, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Business & Career Development

Publisher's Summary:

A Fortune magazine journalist draws on his expertise and extensive contacts among the companies and scientists at the forefront of artificial intelligence to offer dramatic predictions of AI’s impact over the next decade, from reshaping our economy and the way we work, learn, and create to unknitting our social fabric, jeopardizing our democracy, and fundamentally altering the way we think. Within the next five years, Jeremy Kahn predicts, AI will disrupt almost every industry and enterprise, with vastly increased efficiency and productivity. It will restructure the workforce, making AI copilots a must for every knowledge worker. It will revamp education, meaning children around the world can have personal, portable tutors. It will revolutionize health care, making individualized, targeted pharmaceuticals more affordable. It will compel us to reimagine how we make art, compose music, and write and publish books. The potential of generative AI to extend our skills, talents, and creativity as humans is undeniably exciting and promising. But while this new technology has a bright future, it also casts a dark and fearful shadow. AI will provoke pervasive, disruptive, potentially devastating knock-on effects. Leveraging his unrivaled access to the leaders, scientists, futurists, and others who are making AI a reality, Kahn will argue that if not carefully designed and vigilantly regulated AI will deepen income inequality, depressing wages while imposing winner-take-all markets across much of the economy. AI risks undermining democracy, as truth is overtaken by misinformation, racial bias, and harmful stereotypes. Continuing a process begun by the internet, AI will rewire our brains, likely inhibiting our ability to think critically, to remember, and even to get along with one another—unless we all take decisive action to prevent this from happening. Much as Michael Lewis’s classic The New New Thing offered a prescient, insightful, and eminently readable account of life inside the dot-com bubble, Mastering AI delivers much-needed guidance for anyone eager to understand the AI boom—and what comes next.
