Far away from Silicon Valley, in familiar, traditional, even unglamorous fields, ordinary people are unleashing extraordinary advances that amaze customers, energize employees, and create huge economic value. Their secret? They understand that the work of inventing the future doesn’t just belong to geeks designing mobile apps and virtual-reality headsets, or to social-media entrepreneurs hoping to launch the next Facebook. Some of today’s most compelling organizations are doing brilliant things in simple settings such as retail banks, office cleaning companies, department stores, small hospitals, and auto dealerships.Miami Beach’s 1111 Lincoln Road is a parking garage that also serves as a wedding venue, shopping center, and social hub. Its design turns something drab into something fab. This is a collection of stories about different companies designed to show the formula for success in the XXI century. The collection, frankly speaking, is very superficial, not offering a clear theory and facts. I understand that it is difficult to do this in business and that all these stories are like two drops of water, like those published in professional magazines, and from there, sometimes, they get into MBA textbooks as examples. Still, I don't find it impossible to offer fewer stories, but with a deeper explanation of their success. Alas, the book did not offer anything in terms of theory or practice. They may object to me that the author on the contrary clearly shows that he explains not such a complicated theory. This may be true for someone who is not familiar with marketing literature, but if the reader has read a lot of books, he or she often expects a more in-depth analysis, because we can get a less in-depth analysis - as in this book - from almost any journalist writing for professional media. In other words, it is an extended version of a journal article or articles. Yes, it is entertaining, but it does not teach. DEBORAH W. BROOKS, cofounder and executive vice chairman, The Michael J.

The fourth ball of the 47th over by Nathan Ellis was a wide yorker, which Marco Jansen carved towards cover for what seemed like a certain six. However, he did not account for Abbott, who ran round swiftly from sweeper cover and extended his left palm towards the ball.

Сборник, честно сказать, очень поверхностный, не предлагающий чёткую теорию и стройные факты. Ну, я понимаю, что в бизнесе это трудно сделать и что эти истории как две капли воды похожи на те, что печатаются в профессиональных журналах, а оттуда, иногда, попадают в учебники MBA в качестве примеров. Но всё же я не нахожу это невозможным предложить меньший вариант компаний, но зато с более глубоким объяснением их успеха. Тут же я ничего не получил ни в качестве теории ни в качестве того, что можно применить на практике. Конечно, мне могут возразить, что автор как раз наоборот всё чётко показывает, что он объясняет не такую и уж сложную теорию. Возможно, это верно для кого-то, кто не сильно знаком с маркетинговой литературой, но если читатель прочитал много книг, то он часто ожидает более глубокого анализа, так как менее глубокий - такой как в книге - мы можем получить практически от любого журналиста пишущего для профессиональных СМИ. Другими словами, это расширенная версия журнальной статьи или статей. Да, это развлекает, но не учит.
