Disruptive Strategies ― The Impact of Next Generation Companies

Companies identified as black swans are those that defy conventional, cookbook ideas about business organization--and succeed, surpassing stolid tradition-bound businesses. This text describes the emergence of a new paradigm. Case studies include the inner workings of Apple, Aravind, Emirates Airlines, Huawei, Natura, Nokia, Ryanair, and Tata Motors--in terms of McDonaldization, globalization, true disrupters, and reverse imperialism. Each chapter ends with a summary of key points. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
