Publisher's Summary:

There are lots of books that offer advice on how to start a company but the vast majority are wrong. As Enterprise Editor for the Financial Times, Jonathan Moules has profiled hundreds of companies and their owners.Here, he uses this knowledge to explain why, in many cases, the received wisdom on entrepreneurship isnt necessarily the best way of achieving success.

Packed with examples of high-flying entrepreneurs who have done things differently including the New York-based GILT Groupe and Silicon Valley advertising company Criteo Moules demonstrates why you dont need a business plan, why theres nothing wrong with copying someone elses idea, why you should put your prices up when things get tough, and why cutting costs can kill your business.

Members Reviews:

Disorganized, brings little new

What would have made The Rebel Entrepreneur better?

The only thing vaguely interesting about this is the chapter 1 position against external funding in early stages. The rest are verbose platitudes filled with examples of enterprises that are already successes, with little in the way of failures or struggling start-ups.

Maybe this would make sense to a middle manager. For me, in a tech start-up -- waste of time.

Has The Rebel Entrepreneur turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Rebel Entrepreneur?

Everything but the firs two chapters.

EHHHH, NOPE

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I dont think anybody would really enjoy it. no no no.

Would you recommend The Rebel Entrepreneur to your friends? Why or why not?

sincerely i would not reccomend this book. its wasting of time. dry.dry. nothing new. seems that it was created from reading of other better authors and released just to make money. thats my opinion.

What three words best describe Nigel Pilkingtons voice?

hard to listen in the beggining until you get used to it.if book is great than any voice is fine.

What character would you cut from The Rebel Entrepreneur?

i listened to long ago to remember all of them .

Any additional comments?

get brian tracy

Would have rather heard the cliff notes version

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I always believe investing in your own self is time well-spent. Listening to this book gave me a greater perspective on global competition or global copycats which take a great US concept and apply it else where (UK etc). Yes, the great entrepreneurs do different things than the rest, and their are often commonalities in those things, however one should not read the title and think it gives them the license to be crazy. But then again...every entrepreneur has their own dice, risk, dollars they're betting on.

Several Examples, Little New Insight

Would you try another book from Jonathan Moules and/or Nigel Pilkington?

Jonathan has a gift for observing those around him, distilling down their strategies and documenting the results. I would read more of his work.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

As one who reads (listens) widely in the area of business, especially startup business...it was a welcome change to hear examples of successful startups that were founded OUTSIDE of silicon valley. Nigel does a very good job of showing how these entrepreneurs on the other side of the globe:1.

Publisher's Summary:

Hiring Do-ers for Success emphasizes the importance of hiring job candidates who can get the work done, not sing around the campfire in your culture. In describing his own hiring practices, Steve Jobs once said, We hire do-ers to get things done. This is the NFL way as well: You don't know how they'll do until they are on your field.

You and your company will benefit from adopting a similar hiring philosophy. Test and calibrate. Have your star employees interview candidates to see if they qualify. Then move to testing and trying. While this is an unusual way to hire for most companies, it is the standard for the great ones.

Bewertung: 5 von 5 von 1 Stimmen

Kategorien: Business, Management

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Motivationsspritzen durch Prämien, Urlaube, Geschenke haben sich in den Köpfen vieler Unternehmer als notwendige Methode festgesetzt. Sie gehen davon aus, daß Mitarbeiter dadurch zu Höchstleistungen gebracht werden können. Sprenger argumentiert sehr raffiniert dagegen. Seiner Ansicht nach verliert durch diese versprochene Belohnung die Arbeit ihren eigentlichen Zweck. Die Kreativität bleibt auf der Strecke, weil nicht mehr um der Tätigkeit willen, sondern nur noch wegen des Köders gearbeitet wird.

Ensayos Indispensables para el Ejecutivo del Siglo XXI

Gestión de Crisis: nuevas capacidades para un mundo complejo.

La gestión de crisis consiste en la capacidad para reconocer y actuar frente a las señales que anticipan una situación perjudicial para la empresa. La aparente normalidad puede preceder a los tres grandes tipos de crisis organizacional: ataques a la empresa de parte de agentes externos o internos, accidentes que ponen en riesgo a los stakeholders y acciones dañinas por parte del personal de la empresa. La existencia de al menos uno de estos tipos de crisis hace necesario implementar un sistema de alerta temprana del riesgo de ella, además de planes de administración y comunicación.

Gestión Estratégica: síntesis integradora y dilemas abiertos.

Se presenta la estrategia según su definición original y desde la perspectiva empresarial, para introducir una revisión teórica de las diez principales escuelas tradicionales de gestión estratégica. Punto de partida son los modelos de gestión propuestos en Safari a la Estrategia de Henry Mintzberg, se analizan sus enfoques, sus entornos de trabajo y el liderazgo que cada uno de ellos requiere. El autor aborda temas que el estratega debe resolver según su criterio, tomando en cuenta que se trata de dilemas sensibles donde las escuelas sugieren diversas perspectivas.

Title: Competing in Tough Times

Author: Barry Berman

Narrator: Jay Snyder

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-25-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

This book brings together powerful new strategies that world-class retailers are using today to thrive in a brutal business environment. Top retail expert Dr. Barry Berman shows how to plan, execute, and win based on cost and differentiation. Detailed case studies include Wegmans, Family Dollar, Target, Tesco, Walgreen, and Costco.

Members Reviews:

No Hat, All Cattle

In rural America, certain men are described as being "all hat, no cattle", meaning that they dress the part of a cowboy, but lacking any substance. Most of the books I've read on business over the past half century have been somewhat short on substance as well. They spend 60,000 to 80,000 words expounding truths that could be adequately addressed in a 1200 word essay.

That's not the case here. Barry Berman packs facts into this book like sardine fit into a can. One dares not look away for a sentence for fear of missing an important detail.

He relates, "A favorite story of Stew Leonard is when he once opened a tuna fish sandwich and complained to his deli manager that there was too much mayonnaise - a costly ingredient. The following week, he noticed that the problem was not addressed. In speaking with the sandwich preparer, he was told that customers wanted a sandwich packed with extra mayo. Stew's comment to the preparer was 'Bravo, Mary!'"

Bravo, Barry. He's talking there about optimizing customers' service experience. Berman breaks down competitiveness into a number of different areas, and discusses how it affects different retailers. He backs all these details with references (the story of Stew and Mary, for instance, comes from Free Enterprise Land) and when Berman issues an principle, he lands forcefully with both feet.

For instance, he argues that most stores have too many stockkeeping units, that too many products are "me, too" items, and provides examples that suggest fewer items, chosen carefully, make customers happier. The store succeeds by being a purchasing agent for the consumer, rather than a sales agent for the manufacturer. He insists that store brands shouldn't be less expensive clones of national brands, citing Costco's tuna, which apparently is a better tuna, at a higher price, than is available at supermarkets.

He's especially enamored of companies that pay above-average wages, such as Costco, Aldi, and Wegmans, yet end up with lower costs because of their employees' higher productivity.

The title of the book doesn't make it clear; this is all about retailing, and it's been about 40 years since I was in retail, but this book so inspired me that I almost wished I was in the retail business again. Almost, I said. With consumers battering you down on price, and manufacturers batting you on cost, retail is a business that requires huge amounts of capital to compete well. A small businessman is much better off manufacturing a unique product. Still, because every business sells its goods or services to somebody, there are lessons to be learned from this book.

I recommend that this book that should be studied carefully upon purchase, and reread more casually once a year thereafter.

Terrific learning material

Got this book for class and learned so much! Gives you a ton of knowledge and real life examples to back it up!

Easy to read and is also available in audio book ...

Used for my retail class.

Title: Doing Both

Subtitle: Capturing Today's Profit and Driving Tomorrow's Growth

Author: Inder Sidhu

Narrator: Adam Verner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Over the past seven years, in a highly unstable global economy, Cisco doubled revenue, tripled profits, and quadrupled earnings per share. How? By Doing Both.

When companies face key strategic decisions, they often take one path and abandon the other. They focus on innovation and new business at the expense of core businesses, or vice versa. They stress discipline and sacrifice flexibility. They focus on customers and ignore partners. And they struggle. Cisco believes there is a better way: Doing Both, which means approaching every decision as an opportunity to seize, not a sacrifice to endure. It means avoiding false choices, reduced expectations, and weak compromises. It means finding ways to make each option benefit and mutually reinforce the other.

In this book, Cisco Senior Vice President Inder Sidhu explains why doing both is today's best strategy. Then, drawing on Cisco's hard-won insights and the experiences of companies like Procter & Gamble, Whirlpool, and Harley-Davidson, Inder presents a complete blueprint for doing both in your organization, too. Win by Doing Both!

Critic Reviews:

Doing Both shows how Cisco turns business questions into market answers, offering real-life examples that will benefit forward-looking leaders. (Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO, General Electric)

Insightful recommendations from a key executive within Cisco, the game-changing leader in networking for the Internet. (Garth Saloner, Philip H. Knight Professor, and Dean, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University)

Doing Both brings together many powerful lessons behind the story of Cisco, a company with a long record of delivering consistent innovation and strong business results. I encourage senior executives to embrace the challenges presented in this thoughtful book. (Dominic Barton, Global Managing Director, McKinsey & Company)

Members Reviews:

Not much insight

The author is an executive of Cisco. Heavy on positive spin for his company and light on useful insights.

A few absolute nuggets hidden in here

Fairly good review on Cisco strategy but a little too over-the-top resulting in a thinly guised sales pitch for Cisco. Makes out that Cisco made mistakes in the past (2000) but is a perfect organisation now. Ironically, many of the strategies that Inder Sidhu highlights as being the pillars of innovation and success are the exact ones that John Chambers recently criticised and blamed for leading the company off track (2011). I did like the concept of Cisco-on-Cisco!

Great book

Very good book to understand how Cisco has become what they are today.... and a glimpse at what they strive to become. Competitors beware
