Just as corporate governance systems aim toensure quality decisions about corporate assets, the authors show,companies need IT governance systems to ensure that IT investmentsare made wisely and effectively.

In this title, Doc Searls maps out the implications of acustomer-driven business revolution that's flipping the paradigm ofsupply and demand, and putting consumers in charge. Who owns themarketplace? Is it business - or the customer? According to DocSearls, widely-read journalist and blogger and co-author of "TheCluetrain Manifesto", customers are on the verge of becoming trulyfree and independent actors in the marketplace with the power oftelling vendors what they want, how they want it, and where andwhen they should be able to get it. This imperative shift incustomer power will alter the balance of the market and usher inwhat Searls calls the "intention economy". In this book, Searlslays out a map for an economy driven by consumer intent, wherevendors can - and must - respond to the actual intentions ofcustomers, instead of simply vying for customer attention in hopesof selling them what they might want. In the intention economy,individual power increases, demand drives supply, and informationprecedes mone

Corporate guru Charan (The Game Changer) and Conaty, a 40-yearHR leader at General Electric, reveal how successful companies stayon top by developing leaders at every level of operation. Headingthe list is GE under the leadership of Jack Welch. Nicknamed"Neutron Jack" for his ruthless willingness to fire non-performers,Welch created a new culture at GE by transforming the criteria forexecutive performance so that management had to get to know theirworkers, which allowed them to choose future leaders to develop ina series of room-to-grow jobs. The authors offer suggestions foradopting Welch's methods for today's global environment, examiningnot only GE but also Novartis, Hindustan Unilever, and Proctor andGamble to suggest that today's leaders need to manage multiplebrands in one country, shepherd a single brand across the globe,and spend time working abroad. A liberal use of jargon ("Hesearches for discontinuities in the external landscape") willdistance general readers, but business types will find th

A compelling vision. Bold leadership. Decisive action.Unfortunately, these prerequisites of success are almost always theingredients of failure, too. In fact, most managers seeking tomaximize their chances for glory are often unwittingly settingthemselves up for ruin. The sad truth is that most companies haveleft their futures almost entirely to chance, and don’t evenrealize it. The reason? Managers feel they must make choices withfar-reaching consequences today, but must base those choices onassumptions about a future they cannot predict. It is thiscollision between commitment and uncertainty that creates THESTRATEGY PARADOX. This paradox sets up a ubiquitous but little-understood tradeoff.Because managers feel they must base their strategies onassumptions about an unknown future, the more ambitious of themhope their guesses will be right – or that they can somehow adaptto the turbulence that will arise. In fact, only a small number oflucky daredevils prosper, while many more unfortunate, bu
