In The Upside , Adrian Slywotzky provides bold and original ideas for growth breakthroughs as well as the practical tools to use Monday morning, such as •How to change the odds for your next major initiative and create potential industry breakthroughs, as Toyota did with its expanding universe of Prius vehicles. Today, when your fortunes can literally change overnight, the new strategic imperative is making your moment of maximum risk your moment of maximum opportunity. Become a knowledge-intensive business and continuallyincrease the knowledge gap between yourself and rivals, as Coach and Tsutaya of Japan have convincingly done. •Shape and exploit risk, don’t be shaped by it. When basketball legend Bill Russell faced a taller, stronger Wilt Chamberlain, he led the Celtics to victory by inventing a different game. •A category killer can’t kill what’s not in its category. •When you come to a fork in the road—take it! Only a fraction of companies survive when industries experience technological or strategic transitions. The same thinking lets Target prosper in a Wal-Mart world—and can help you outcompete the “unbeatable” rival in your own industry. •Stuckinabusinessbox? Findthebiggerbox—and then the biggest. To be a survivor, learn the secret that enabled Microsoft to weather the advent of the Internet—the art of the double bet. •Your competitors can also be your greatest enablers of profit.

The key is knowing when to compete and when to collaborate, as Apple has shown with its revolutionary approach to the music business. Today, we face a similar paradox when it comes to risk and reward. Now, high quality and low cost are required just to enter the marketplace. 2007. Rather than shrink from the high risk so integral to the tumultuous global economy, Adrian Slywotzky shows how it can be your greatest source of growth and future reward. |
