Synopsis
Unstable markets, fierce competition, and relentless change are the only certainties in today's chaotic business world. In their startling new book, authors Brown and Eisenhardt contend that to prosper in such volatile conditions, standard survival strategies must be tossed aside in favor of a revolutionary new paradigm--competing on the edge. To compete on the edge is to relentlessly reinvent, and it's the only way to navigate the treacherous waters of tumultuous markets. Competing onthe edge is an unpredictable, sometimes even inefficient strategy, yet a singularly effective one in an era driven by change. It requires charting a course along the edge of chaos, where a delicate compromise is struck between anarchy and order, to the edge of time, where current business is the primary focus, but actions are shaped by past legacies and future opportunities. By adroitly maneuvering through chaos and time, managers can avoid constantly reacting to nonstop change and instead set arhythmic pace that others must follow, thereby shaping the competitive landscape--and their own destiny. In the first book to translate leading edge concepts from complexity theory into management practice, each chapter focuses on a specific management dilemma and illustrates a solution. Linking where do you want to go? With how will you get there? Here's a bold and surprising strategy that works--when the name of the game is change., Unstable markets, fierce competition, and relentless change are the only certainties in today's chaotic business world.

Here's a bold and surprising strategy that works--when the name of the game is change., "On the Edge" grew out of a lifetime spent living and traveling across the American Southwest, from San Antonio to Los Angeles. Char Miller examines this borderland region through a native's eyes and contemplates its considerable conflicts. Internal to the various US states and Mexico's northern tier, there are struggles over water, debates over un

    BUYER BEWARE items sold are not rare or collectable as advertised. I assumed it was a good faith error and offered to send back for a refund, even saying I wouldn't leave feedback (I'm pregnant and don't need stress in my life). But he proved he knew exactly what he was doing, verbally abusing me in the hopes I'd respond in kind so they could file a complaint. Didn't bite. Kindness always wins: eBay Buyer Protection ruled in my favor and I got my money back. Avoid this abusive scammer.
