About this audiobook
In today's world, it's incumbents against insurgents, the old guard versus the vanguard. Companies must reinvent themselves and their industries-not just in times of crisis, but continually.Drawing on the experiences of Charles Schwab, Cisco, Virgin Atlantic, Disney, and other world-class companies, Gary Hamel explains the underlying principles of radical innovation, explores where revolutionary new business concepts come from, and identifies the key design criteria for building companies that are activist-friendly. He shows how to avoid becoming a quot;one-vision wonderquot; and instead harness the imagination of every employee, develop new financial measures that focus on creating new wealth, and generate vibrant internal markets for ideas, capital, and talent.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great old book on internal entrepreneurialism, still relevant today. I highly recommend it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great business strategy book. Very well written. The first thing that comes to mind is Business Concept Innovation, Strategic Resources, and Core Competencies. Hamel does a great job of explaining this. His insight on New Wealth is very interesting. Hamel raises the standard for business thinking.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have read the book 2001 in a hotel in Jakarta. The book inspired me so much that I was constantly working on a mindmap with my own ideas and thoughts. On my PSION 5 I started to write a letter to be addressed to Prof. Gary Hamel. The draft is still sleeping on my aged PDA. It might be I still should finalize the letter and send it to him. It is never too late.
