A Practical Guide For Eliminating Stalls From Complacency
Complacency is one of the biggest enemies of any organization, but especially for successful ones like Intel.
ONLY
THE
PARANOID
SURVIVE provides
two powerful observations
that will
help anyone who reads this book: (1) That changes are lurking out there that need immediate attention inside your organization and (2) That you must be constantly vigilant for large discontinuous changes (such as those driven by microprocessors, Intel's main product). Having the perspective of someone who has been both the beneficiary and the target of discontinuous change, Dr. Grove's lessons become all the more real. At first, I thought this book was a little overdone; but upon reflection, I feel that complacency is probably best overcome by paranoia in the absence of the management process to locate, anticipate, create and adapt to externally-driven discontinuous changes. We cite this book in our own book about
how
to be more successful, because we believe it is an important work. Please read this book, and take its lessons seriously. But have fun while you are being paranoid!

Short and to the point about surviving in business
Written by theformer president and CEO of Intel Corporation, located here in Santa Clara, California. I could not put this book down. The 10X power concept and Strategic Inflection
Points apply
to all of us in business. Well-written, fascinating, easy to understand; a reflection of the
company
. Also very thought provoking. If you are an executive or entrepreneur or in a decision making position, I strongly recommend you read this book. You will not forget what you read here.

The book contains extremely practical and useful idea
I find the book stimulate people to alert the environmental change, it is not
only useful
for business, bu also it is more useful for personal career development especially in the internet age. Andy's presentation is simple and to-the-point, I finish the book in a non-stop 8 hours. I think all the readers can benefit from the idea in the book.
