WHY MOST THINGS FAIL: EVOLUTION, EXTINCTION AND ECONOMICS
Book ID/图书代码: 04560005B01545
English Summary/英文概要: From the best-selling author of The Death of Economics and Butterfly Economics, a ground-breaking look at a truth all too seldom acknowledged: most commercial and public policy ventures will not succeed.
Paul Ormerod draws upon recent advances in biology to help us understand the surprising consequences of the Iron Law of Failure. And he shows what strategies corporations, businesses and governments will need to adopt to stand a chance of prospering in a world where only one thing is certain.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 全美第二大长话运营商Worldcom倒下了,安隆关门了,山—国际、英国老牌保险公司Equitable Life还有帕玛拉纷纷出事了,那么下一个又会是谁呢?
畅销书《死亡经济学》和《蝴蝶效应经济学》作家又一力作,探讨了一个大家都不乐意承认的事实:多数商业投资公司和国家政策投资公司都没什么好下场。
最近一段时间,商业巨擘们纷纷倒台,这些消息在我们报纸头版头条上特别显眼,而公司的投资商们则拼命要找替罪羊。对于这样的灾难事件我们都颇为诧异------然而灭亡却是生命不可分割的一部分,不管公司的规模如何,失败是免不了的。今年,就英国一个国家而言,会有超过一万七千个公司破产。但是这到底是不是件坏事呢?如果说是的话,为什么在美国这样一个经济如此发达的国家里做生意失败的几率会比别的国家高很多呢?
Paul Ormerod 借鉴了生物学的领先概念,帮我们理解铁腕失败法则的惊人辐射力,同时还谈到了公司、企业和政府如果要在这样一个世界里------在这样的世界里,只有一样东西是确信无疑的-------蓬勃发展的话,他们该采取什么样的策略。
