内容简介 在线阅读本书

Over the next decade, two out of every three companies will face the challenge of their corporate lives: redefining their core business. Buffeted by global competition and facing an uncertain future, more and more executives will realize that they must make fundamental changes in their core even as they continue delivering the goods and services that keep them in business today. "Unstoppable" shows these managers how to look deep within their organizations to find undervalued, unrecognized, or underutilized assets that can serve as new platforms for sustainable growth. Drawing on more than thirty interviews with CEOs from companies such as De Beers, American Express, and Samsung, it shows readers how to recognize when the core needs reinvention and how to deploy the "hidden assets" that can be the basis for tomorrow's growth. Building on the author's previous books, "Profit from the Core" and "Beyond the Core", this book shows how any company in crisis can transform itself to become truly unstoppable.

HAVE YOU INDENTIFIED YOUR NEXT CORE BUSINESS?

OVER THE NEXT DECADES, two out of every three companies will face the challenge of their corporate lives: redefining their core business to stay competitive. Buffeted by ever-stiffening global competition, shifting global dynamics, and accelerating change, business leaders face an increasingly uncertain future. More and more, executives will realize that they must make fundamental changes in their companies’ core to spur growth in the future—even as they continue to deliver the goods and services that keep their firms in business today.

Unstoppable shows you how to look deep within your organization to find undervalued, unrecognized, or underutilized assets—in the form of business platforms, customer insights, and capabilities—that can serve as new foundations for sustainable growth.

Drawing extensive studies and more than thirty in-depth interviews with CEOs from firms as diverse as DeBeers, American Express, Li & Fung, and Harman International, Chris Zook explains how to know when your company’s core needs reinventing. He also demonstrates how your organization can find and deploy "hidden assets" that can serve as the engines for growth tomorrow. State-of-the-art tools and diagnostics help you apply what you’ve learned to transform your core.

Looking deep within your core for ways to redefine your strategy, Zook explains, is far less risky that other popular tactics, such as entering the race for the next hot market or bidding in the auction for the next big transforming acquisition. It also helps you avoid all-too-common error of relying on the past formulas for success, even when those formulas have begun to reach their limit.

Using Zook’s approach, you will learn to recognize the magnitude of a threat to your core before it’s too late. And you’ll make critical changes in your company’s fundamentals to unleash a new wave of growth rather than run the risk of stall-out- or worse. Building on the author’s previous books, Profit from the Core and Beyond the Core, this book shows how any company in crisis can transform itself to become truly unstoppable.
