Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Foreword by Bill GatesMicrosoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of intelligent technologies and a distinct call to action for leaders everywhere.Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives—the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing.It’s about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform "hit refresh" in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. At its core, it’s about us humans and how our one unique quality—empathy—will become ever more valuable in a world where technological advancement will disrupt the status quo as never before.Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as sitting CEO—one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul—transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders."Ideas excite me," Nadella explains. "Empathy grounds and centers me." Hit Refresh is a reflection, meditations, and series of recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement—for himself, for a storied company, and for society.

If you want to go in one direction, the best route may involve going in another. This is the concept of 'obliquity': paradoxical as it sounds, many goals are more likely to be achieved when pursued indirectly. Whether overcoming geographical obstacles, winning decisive battles or meeting sales targets, history shows that oblique approaches are the most successful, especially in difficult terrain.Pre-eminent economist John Kay applies his provocative, universal theory to everything from international business to town planning and from football to managing forest fires. He shows why the most profitable companies are not always the most profit-oriented; why the richest men and women are not the most materialistic; and why the happiest people are not necessarily those who focus on happiness.

A guide to the early decisions that can make or break startup venturesOften downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. The Founder's Dilemmas is the first book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team.Drawing on a decade of research, Noam Wasserman reveals the common pitfalls founders face and how to avoid them. He looks at whether it is a good idea to cofound with friends or relatives, how and when to split the equity within the founding team, and how to recognize when a successful founder-CEO should exit or be fired. Wasserman explains how to anticipate, avoid, or recover from disastrous mistakes that can splinter a founding team, strip founders of control, and leave founders without a financial payoff for their hard work and innovative ideas. He highlights the need at each step to strike a careful balance between controlling the startup and attracting the best resources to grow it, and demonstrates why the easy short-term choice is often the most perilous in the long term.The Founder's Dilemmas draws on the inside stories of founders like Evan Williams of Twitter and Tim Westergren of Pandora, while mining quantitative data on almost ten thousand founders.People problems are the leading cause of failure in startups. This book offers solutions.

His story shows how inspiration can come from the unlikeliest of places - from the timeless wisdom of merchants in ancient souks to the changing patterns of military checkpoints. During that time, not only did the bank remain robust when others faltered - it thrived and became the undisputed leading bank as people's trust in its capability to safeguard their lifelong savings strengthened.In this book, Al Roumani distills the knowledge and skills he and his colleagues developed while steering the bank through four impossible years into ten lessons applicable to any leader facing a crisis today. His valuable, and often counterintuitive, advice - ranging from resisting over-planning to hacking your own IT department to cutting costs (but not morale) - will help anyone understand how to be resilient even in the most challenging of times.

Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway into something remarkable— and Fortune journalist Carol Loomis had a front-row seat for it all. When Carol Loomis first mentioned a little-known Omaha hedge fund manager in a 1966 Fortune article, she didn’t dream that Warren Buffett would one day be considered the world’s greatest investor—nor that she and Buffett would quickly become close personal friends. As Buffett’s fortune and reputation grew over time, Loomis used her unique insight into Buffett’s thinking to chronicle his work for Fortune, writing and proposing scores of stories that tracked his many accomplishments—and also his occasional mistakes. Now Loomis has collected and updated the best Buffett articles Fortune published between 1966 and 2012, including thirteen cover stories and a dozen pieces authored by Buffett himself. Loomis has provided commentary about each major article that supplies context and her own informed point of view. Readers will gain fresh insights into Buffett’s investment strategies and his thinking on management, philanthropy, public policy, and even parenting. Some of the highlights include:The 1966 A. W. Jones story in which Fortune first mentioned Buffett. The first piece Buffett wrote for the magazine, 1977’s “How Inf lation Swindles the Equity Investor.” Andrew Tobias’s 1983 article “Letters from Chairman Buffett,” the first review of his Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letters. Buffett’s stunningly prescient 2003 piece about derivatives, “Avoiding a Mega-Catastrophe.” His unconventional thoughts on inheritance and philanthropy, including his intention to leave his kids “enough money so they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing.” Bill Gates’s 1996 article describing his early impressions of Buffett as they struck up their close friendship. Scores of Buffett books have been written, but none can claim this work’s combination of trust between two friends, the writer’s deep understanding of Buffett’s world, and a very long-term perspective.

It is 2030. India is among the world's top three economies. All Indians use the cloud, artificial intelligence and automated learning to either do their job or get their job done. All Indians have access to quality jobs, better healthcare and skill-based education. Technology and human beings coexist in a mutually beneficial ecosystem. This reality is possible. It is within reach. With Bridgital. In this groundbreaking book, the chairman of Tata Sons, N. Chandrasekaran presents a powerful vision for the future. To the coming disruption of artificial intelligence, he proposes an ingenious solution, where India is perfectly positioned to pave a unique path from the rest of the world. Instead of accepting AI as an inevitable replacement for human labour, India can use it as an aid; instead of taking them away, AI can generate jobs. Chandrasekaran and his co-author, Roopa Purushothaman, survey the country for inspirational stories of resilience and determination, and seek the ideal way to bring Indians closer to their dreams. Through on-ground application of the dynamic technology called 'Bridgital', they show how Indians can be connected across the country, creating a network of services to be delivered where they are most required. This brilliant, cutting-edge solution will address India's biggest challenges by bridging the huge chasm between rural and urban communities, the different levels of education and medical access, and between aspirations and achievement. From healthcare to education to business, the model can be applied in various sectors, and, by a conservative estimate, it can create and impact 30 million jobs by 2025. One of the country's foremost industry leaders and pioneers, N. Chandrasekaran brings his expertise of over thirty years with the Tata Group to offer a blueprint for building a prosperous India, where everyone is included in the growth story.

Quyển sách được khuyến cáo với người đọc là họ sẽ bàng hoàng không hề nhẹ trước những điều mình đọc…“Đây là quái vật của dòng sách kinh tế. Cuốn sách thiết yếu và bao quát này hết sức sắc bén, thú vị và cay nghiệt. Những nhận xét thẳng và thật của Scott Galloway chẳng kiêng dè bất cứ một đại gia công nghệ nào. Thực sự là một cuốn sách đáng đọc”, Chuyên gia tâm lý Adam Alter, giảng viên ngành tâm lý học tại trường kinh doanh Stern thuộc Đại học New York nhận xét như thế khi đọc xong Tứ Đại Quyền Lực. Đây là cuốn sách đầu tay của Scott Galloway, một giáo sư tại khoa Kinh doanh Stern thuộc đại học New York, phụ trách giảng dạy về chiến lược thương hiệu và tiếp thị số cho các học viên MBA năm thứ hai.Scott là một nhà đầu tư, đã sáng lập 9 công ty bao gồm L2, Red Envelope và Prophet. Anh cũng từng lọt vào danh sách 50 Giáo sư Kinh doanh Xuất sắc nhất thế giới của trang thông tin Poets & Quants vào năm 2012. Loạt clip hàng tuần Winners and Losers của ông trên YouTube đã thu hút được hàng chục triệu lượt xem. Vậy, tác phẩm của một giáo sư “siêu” kinh doanh này hấp dẫn người đọc ở điểm nào?Đầu tiên, đây là tác phẩm “đụng chạm” trực diện chuyện kinh doanh của Amazon, Apple, Facebook và Google, bốn doanh nghiệp có sức ảnh hưởng áp đảo nhất hành tinh này hiện nay. Bằng sự tôn trọng tuyệt đối, giáo sư Scott Galloway ghi nhận thành công và hành trình thành công của những tên tuổi đình đám nhất trong giới công nghệ này. Những con số, những phép so sánh mà tác giả mang đến cho người đọc khả năng hình dung các “ông lớn” này đang lớn đến mức nào. Đi sâu vào chiến lược kinh doanh của bốn cái tên hàng đầu, Scott Galloway cùng đồng thời lý giải từng quyết định, từng thương vụ lớn mà những doanh nghiệp này đã thực hiện. Ông quan niệm, hiểu được sự lựa chọn của bộ tứ quyền lực là hiểu được mô hình kinh doanh và cách họ tạo ra giá trị trong kỷ nguyên số. “Tôi viết cuốn sách này với hy vọng độc giả sẽ có được cái nhìn thấu đáo và nhận ra được thế mạnh của doanh nghiệp trong một nền kinh tế mà chưa bao giờ dễ trở thành tỷ phú như bây giờ, nhưng cũng chưa bao giờ trở thành triệu phú khó đến vậy”, tác giả chia sẻ. Tuy nhiên, điều khiến tác phẩm của Scott Galloway cực kỳ hấp dẫn là vì ông đã không kiêng dè khi chứng minh, hiểu biết của cả thế giới về bốn cái tên quyền lực kia gần như đều… sai bét. Vượt thoát khỏi làn khói thần bí vây quanh bộ tứ quyền lực ấy che mắt, ông thẳng tay lột phăng chiếc mặt nạ dát vàng của bộ tứ quyền lực để mổ xẻ chiến lược và năng lực thao túng siêu phàm của họ, từ đó giúp độc giả học hỏi và áp dụng những kỹ thuật đó vào sự nghiệp của chính mình.Trong nửa đầu quyển sách, tác giả đưa người đọc vào quá trình xem xét từng chàng kỵ binh và phân tích những chiến lược của họ. Các doanh nghiệp khác có thể học gì từ những chiến lược này. Trong phần thứ hai là cách thức nhận diện những thế mạnh cạnh tranh của bộ tứ này, xem cách kinh doanh mới của họ đang diễn tiến như thế nào. Bên cạnh đó, tac giả cũng cho người đọc thấy được cách thức bộ tứ bảo vệ thị trường của mình ra sao.Bằng một phong thái hết sức từ tốn, Scott Galloway đưa người đọc từ bất ngờ này sang bất ngờ khác. Đâu là tội lỗi của bốn chàng kỵ binh này? Họ đã lợi dụng các chính phủ và đối thủ cạnh tranh như thế nào trong việc bảo vệ sở hữu trí tuệ?Không chỉ dừng lại ở bốn cái tên khổng lồ, tác giả mở rộng bức tranh, mang đến độc giả cái nhìn toàn cảnh bằng cách điểm mặt các ứng cử viên công nghệ sáng giá khác, từ Netflix đến Alibaba, một Amazon thu nhỏ của Trung Hoa, rồi Uber và những người khổng lồ một thời từng làm mưa làm gió như IBM, Microsoft… để cùng tìm câu trả lời cho câu hỏi liệu họ có thể quay lại đường đua hay không? Ai trong số họ có khả năng phát triển một nền tảng chi phối hơn so với bộ tứ hiện tại? Ai sẽ có khả năng trở thành chàng kỵ binh thứ năm? Và, bộ tứ sẽ đưa con người đi đến đâu.Vạch trần bản chất kinh doanh của bốn doanh nghiệp đang ảnh hưởng rất lớn đến đời sống con người nhưng Tứ Đại Quyền lực của Scott Galloway không gây hoang mang cho người đọc. Cuộc trò chuyện ông với độc giả đầy giá trị khi ông cùng người đọc nhìn vào bản thân mình, xem những tính chất nghề nghiệp nào giúp chúng ta tồn tại và có thể hưởng lợi trong kỷ nguyên của bộ tứ quyền lực này. Như lời vị doanh nhân nổi tiếng Calvin McDonald, CEO của Sephora, Scott Galloway thành thật và táo bạo đến tàn nhẫn nhưng cuốn sách này sẽ buộc bạn thay đổi cách nghĩ của mình.Sách do nhà báo Lương Trọng Vũ, Kênh truyền hình FBNC chuyển ngữ, First News thực hiện, NXB Tổng Hợp TP.HCM ấn hành.

"This is not a book about charismatic visionary leaders. It is not about visionary product concepts or visionary products or visionary market insights. Nor even is it about just having a corporate vision. This is a book about something far more important, enduring, and substantial. This is a book about visionary companies. " So write James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras in this groundbreaking book that shatters myths, provides new insights, and gives practical guidance to those who would like to build landmark companies that stand the test of time. Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Collins and Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies -- they have an average age of nearly one hundred years and have outperformed the general stock market by a factor of fifteen since 1926 -- and studied each company in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day -- as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: "What makes the truly exceptional companies different from other companies?" What separates General Electric, 3M, Merck, Wal-Mart, Hewlett-Packard, Walt Disney, and Philip Morris from their rivals? How, for example, did Procter & Gamble, which began life substantially behind rival Colgate, eventually prevail as the premier institution in its industry? How was Motorola able to move from a humble battery repair business into integrated circuits and cellular communications, while Zenith never became dominant in anything other than TVs? How did Boeing unseat McDonnell-Douglas as the world's best commercial aircraft company -- what did Boeing have that McDonnell-Douglas lacked? By answering such questions, Collins and Porras go beyond the incessant barrage of management buzzwords and fads of the day to discover timeless qualities that have consistently distinguished outstanding companies. They also provide inspiration to all executives and entrepreneurs by destroying the false but widely accepted idea that only charismatic visionary leaders can build visionary companies. Filled with hundreds of specific examples and organized into a coherent framework of practical concepts that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels, Built to Last provides a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the twenty-first century and beyond.

Insights -- like Darwin's understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick's breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNA -- can change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formed -- or what blocks them. In Seeing What Others Don't , renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein unravels the mystery.Klein is a keen observer of people in their natural settings -- scientists, businesspeople, firefighters, police officers, soldiers, family members, friends, himself -- and uses a marvelous variety of stories to illuminate his research into what insights are and how they happen. What, for example, enabled Harry Markopolos to put the finger on Bernie Madoff? How did Dr. Michael Gottlieb make the connections between different patients that allowed him to publish the first announcement of the AIDS epidemic? What did Admiral Yamamoto see (and what did the Americans miss) in a 1940 British attack on the Italian fleet that enabled him to develop the strategy of attack at Pearl Harbor? How did a "smokejumper" see that setting another fire would save his life, while those who ignored his insight perished? How did Martin Chalfie come up with a million-dollar idea (and a Nobel Prize) for a natural flashlight that enabled researchers to look inside living organisms to watch biological processes in action?Klein also dissects impediments to insight, such as when organizations claim to value employee creativity and to encourage breakthroughs but in reality block disruptive ideas and prioritize avoidance of mistakes. Or when information technology systems are "dumb by design" and block potential discoveries.Both scientifically sophisticated and fun to read, Seeing What Others Don't shows that insight is not just a "eureka!" moment but a whole new way of understanding.

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.From the Publisher (Hachette)
