The great disruption how business is coping with turbulent times
Woolridge, Adrian
The great disruption how business is coping with turbulent times Adrian Woolridge - London : Economist c2015. - 296 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
Based around a compilation of his popular Schumpeter columns, Adrian Wooldridge takes a look at the forces that are disrupting today's fast-moving business world. The disruption has many causes: the internet's rapid spread; the challenge from emerging markets in innovation and manufacturing; clever management techniques that are forcing companies to rethink strategy; robots advancing from the factory floor into the service sector; and much more. These developments are shaking business and social life to its foundations, producing a new set of winners and losers, and forcing everyone to adapt and change. The Great Disruption explains - The forces that are disrupting today's business world and the management gurus that predicted them. - Who are the winners and the losers, and how institutions have tried (and often failed) to change? - How classic management problems, such as talent management, distribution, and outsourcing persist, but with a new twist. - What the future holds for companies, universities, competition, and society. It also reminds us why Joseph Schumpeter's ideas about creative destruction are particularly valuable today.
