This book is a unique analysis of new management models evolving in Silicon Valley. The abilities to remain entrepreneurial and innovate constantly will be essential for all companies in an innovation economy. However, most firms still use industrial-age management models that are not suited to attracting and energizing entrepreneurial talent. This book imbibes latest results from a year-long study of Google"s approaches to management, and finds similar principles being applied at companies including Facebook, LinkedIn, Tesla Motors, and Twitter. By distilling on the aspects that work across a variety of innovative firms, the authors present a synthesis that could have profound implications for managers everywhere.

The World is Changing.- Six Basic Principles for a Changing World.- Silicon Valley: A Cradle of Management Innovation.- Entrepreneurship: What It Really Is, and What It Must Be Integrated into Management of the Firm.- A Special Breed of People.- Culture: The New Black.- Leading for Entrepreneurship.- The Entrepreneurial Organization Is Dynamic and Ambidextrous.- The Silicon Valley Model.- Implications Beyond Silicon Valley.

Recenzijos

This compact book focused on managing firms provides a review of important writings and vignettes of company histories. I highly recommend it for someone designing her or his own organization or dealing with a company using the model, as well as for someone wanting to understand how at least some organizations are changing.
