TechnoLeverage: Using the Power of Technology to Outperform the Competition

10 reviews
F. Michael Hruby

AMACOM, 1998

Great for Mapping Out Corporate Strategy Using Technology
I found TechnoLeverage very insightful in its approach to corporate strategy for technology management. It was clear from the beginning of the book that a company did not have to be a high-tech or even a technology-based company to be able to put technoleverage to work to raise profits. In planning for the "big picture", I found that the book had many useful checklists and action items. It ...

Larraine Segil

Times Business, 1996

Practical Tools for Partnering
I have been using this book for over 10 years in a course that I teach on Globalization of Technology . There are newer books by Segil, but this one is the foundation guide to her methods for analyzing potential partners. Other books have good anecdotes, some suggestions on strategy, etc. but this book provides tested tools for looking at company lifecycle, alliance type, risk profile and ...

The Underdog Advantage: Using the Power of Insurgent Strategy to Put Your Business on Top

David Morey, Scott Miller

McGraw-Hill, 2004

It is the Size of the Fight in the Dog that Matters
It is now a cliché. I first heard it from a high school football coach more decades ago than I care to recall. "It is not the size of the dog in the fight that counts," the coach said. "What matters is the size of the fight in the dog." The principles in The Underdog Advantage build winning attitudes and character. According to authors David Morey and Scott Miller, these principles can ...

Making the Connections: Using Internal Communication to Turn Strategy into Action

Bill Quirke

Gower Pub Co, 2002

The orginal textbook!
Most senior executives in Europe with the words "communication" in their titles have this book on their desks. It's crowded with practical and useful information. Although Bill, and his company Synopsis, speak and work in America quite a bit, many of the case studies are European. Arguably though, with people like Quirke working away at this relatively new discipline, Europe and the UK are ahead ...

Jossey-Bass, 2004

A must for every PG board
This book consists of 50 very real-world situations that any board using Carver Policy Governance ® might encounter, with a single worksheet to be used by the board members to logically think through what should be done in this instance. The book calls them "rehearsal scenarios." I used a few of these scenarios with my board, and they thought it was great! It took the policies from dry words ...

Business Design & Blueprints: Effective Business Communication Using the Simon Visual Language

1 review
Marc Sewell, Laura Sewell

Simon Labs Press, 2004

A must have book!!
This book along with the tool is incredible!!! It is easy to read and understand and more importantly teach/review with other non-technical users. I use it as a reference tool all the time. At first it was a little awkward to follow because of the non-standard format - especially if you are used to Visio-type diagrams. It only took but a day or so and we were off creating diagrams following ...

Early Warning: Using Competitive Intelligence to Anticipate Market Shifts, Control Risk, and Create Powerful ...

3 reviews

AMACOM/American Management Association, 2003

Core Reference for Business Leaders
Edit of 21 Dec 07 to add links. This remains a core reference. Ben Gilad, arguably one of the top five practitioner-scholars in the competitive intelligence arena (the others, in my opinion, are Jan Herring and Leonard Fuld, his partners; Babette Bensoussan in Australia, and Mats Bjore in Sweden), makes a very important contribution with this book. It is for business leaders what Kristan ...

What Customers Want : Using Outcome-Driven Innovation to Create Breakthrough Products and Services

19 reviews

McGraw-Hill, 2005

The real deal. This is how you should focus on customer needs.
Lots has been published on the Voice of the Customer and being Customer/Market Driven, but little has really been published oh HOW to do it. (The author actually trashes this concept in the book) I applaud Mr Ulwick for this easy and simple way to look at viewing customer needs as Jobs, and the metrics for expectations as Outcomes. The concepts and the examples are excellent. It follows a ...

Marketer's Visual Tool Kit: Using Charts, Graphs, and Models for Strategic Planning and Problem Solving

1 review
Terry Richey

AMACOM, 1994

so far the best book on visual thinking for the marketer!
This is so far the best book I have come cross on visual thinking for sales and marketing professionals. It covers a very broad range of visual tools for strategic thinking, planning, communication and problem solving in the field of sales and marketing. My only complaint about the book is that some of the business examples given are somewhat perfunctory. A more detailed treatment of each ...

New Thinking Indeed!
I have been attempting to write you for several days regarding my impressions of SR. Each time I would think I had read enough to make a comment; I would be hurled into another captivating chapter. I resigned that I would have to finish the book before e-mailing you. I finished it last evening! When I sat down to write you, I almost felt like I was writing a review of a Broadway play and not a ...

Quality Comprehension: A Strategic Model of Reading Instruction Using Read-Along Guides, Grades 3-6

Sandra K. Athans and Denise Ashe Devine

International Reading Association, 2008

The Missing Link
Quality Comprehension is a must have book for teachers looking for the answers to helping their students understand what it is we are asking them to read in the intermediate grades. For me, it was the missing link between taking the skills necessary for quality comprehension for my students and making them work in my classroom. During reading, I had many "aha-light bulb" moments! The ...
