How the Next Generation of Businesses Will Win

The Responsibility Revolution

Reveals how the LEGO company was nearly pushed financial collapse by the advice of professional consultants, explaining how the company adapted the "Seven Truths of Innovation" to rebuild a stronger and more competitive business.

No es la excelencia operativa ni los nuevos modelos de negocios, sino la innovación en las técnicas de management: nuevas formas de movilizar el talento, asignar los recursos y desarrollar estrategias. A lo largo del siglo pasado, los avances en la «tecnología del management» han permitido a diversas compañías —entre las que figuran General Electric, Procter % Gamble, Toyota y Visa— cruzar los nuevos umbrales del éxito y lograr posicionarse como líderes en su sector a largo plazo. No obstante, la mayoría de las empresas carecen de un proceso disciplinado para llevar a cabo una innovación radical en el management. En su libro más provocador hasta la fecha, Hamel carga contra las creencias heredadas que impiden a las empresas del siglo XXI superar los nuevos retos. Con un análisis incisivo y ejemplos muy ilustrativos, Hamel explica cómo convertir cualquier compañía en una maquinaria innovadora. Prepárese para romper con el pasado. Las empresas que conquistarán el mañana serán aquéllas que empiecen a inventar el futuro del management hoy.

El futuro del management

Als Einzelteil ist er nur ein Stück Plastik, zusammen entsteht daraus eine Welt mit unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten: LEGO. Bekannt wie Coca-Cola, beliebt wie Apple, bezaubernd für alle von 1 bis 99. Doch kaum war der Legostein zum Spielzeug des 20. Jahrhunderts gekrönt, ging es bergab. Der Anbruch des digitalen Zeitalters sowie jahrelanges Missmanagement brachten LEGO ernsthaft in Gefahr. Erst einem neuen Führungsteam gelang der rasante Umbau vom Traditionsunternehmen zum Überflieger der Spielzeugindustrie – das LEGO-Imperium eroberte die Kinderzimmer zurück! David Robertsons packender Insiderblick zeigt: Ohne diesen erfolgreichen Turnaround würden unserem Leben heute ein paar entscheidende Bausteine fehlen.
