Hot business books. Recommended by a well-recognised business leader, pick up The Innovator's Delimma: When Technologies cause great firms to fail. It is often important to round out a business career by supplementing a hard cut office life with a little literature. Stay informed on new ideas, inspiration from successful stories and motivation.
Not exactly a tear jerking story about capitalist triumph, this book is a complete glimpse on how technology has historically affected business. Clayton M. Christenson illustrates through specific examples how researching the effects of technological change can determine how the business will take the hit. One chapter using the example of the Disc Drive exemplifies that new customers will demand changes conforming to new technological trends. Businesses must respond to these by listening and investing attentively and in an informed fashion. Due to changes in demand for the Disc Drive alone from the 70's to present, 7 major corporations have been demolished due to lack of keeping up with changes in the industry – while IBM was not.
Hot site. When trying to find the business section at the local bookshop or on Amazon is not an option in a schedule full of deadlines, check out Fastcompany or subscribe in having the magazine delivered to the office door. Fastcompany engages its business savvy leader readers on the very latest happenings in all business aspects: finance, economy, technology and marketing. A variety of media shows the latest business news through video interviews, blog discussions and articles.
Similar to a NYTimes style layout, Fastcompany tends to recognise important business figures. The site highlights and features people who have made significant impacts in the history of their companies. One article features a student from Emory University and his cloud computing innovation project, while numerous others recognise Steve Jobs as an important technological figure in the heyday of Apple computers.
