THE MOMENTUM EFFECT
How to Ignite Exceptional Growth
by J. C. Larreche
Wharton School Publishing
289 pages first published in 2008
ISBN-13: 978-0-273-71253-4 9780273712534
.......................................................................................................

Jean-Claude Larreché has thoroughly studied the engines of growth that enable firms to create superior value over time. He thinks that a combination of marketing excellence, customer focus and innovation create a momentum effect that self-fuels these engines. However, the momentum is dynamic and the magic lies in being able to nurture its drivers. In this book, the author presents the concept and the strategy to reach it. He then moves forward to examine the eight steps of the process and finally focuses his attention on the leadership competences required to successfully implement and maintain it.

SEX, MONEY, HAPPINESS, AND DEATH:
The quest for authenticity
by Manfred Kets de Vries
Palgrave Macmillan
264 pages first published in 2009
ISBN-13: 978-0230577923
......................................................................................................
In this book, Manfred Kets de Vries, one of the leading management thinker and practicioner on leadership, attempted to do something very different from his many other books. This time, the author brings key learning points on «living». How can we deal with four of our life’s major challenges: first, the sexual desire, which can often makes us do things we would never otherwise have done; second, the need for money, which can sometimes affect the lives of people that have too much in a much more dramatically way than the life of those who have too little; third, the quest for happiness, with the recurrent question on «how to be happy?»; and, last but not least, our relationship with death, not only our own but also, and probably much more impacting, the loss of a close person. The afterword section of the book deals with the search of meaning in life and other related themes like wisdom, altruism and authenticity.

GAME-CHANGING STRATEGIES:

how to create new market space in established industries by breaking the rules

Costas Markides (Constantinos C. Markides)

Jossey-Bass

222 pages - first edition 2008

ISBN-13: 978-0470276877

......................................................................................................

The majority of new business–model innovations are introduced by newcomers in an industry. Established firms appreciate the need to break the rules as much as start–up firms. They also possess many more resources, skills, and technologies to do so effectively. Yet they continue to allow new firms to take the initiative when it comes to business–model innovation. The question is why? This book presents practical ideas on how established firms can discover new radical business models and grow them next to their existing business models. The challenge for established firms is not the discovery of a new business model but how to make two business models coexist. This book offers advice on how established firms can implement structures and processes that make the new business model less conflicting and more palatable to the existing business.
