A rollicking read about the corporate world's greatest rivalries.
If you're worried about a well-known competitor or an unseen
disruptor - or fascinated by the decisions of founders, the
strategies of leaders, or the fates of businesses - this book
brings together the best of a hit podcast for your learning and
enjoyment. -- Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of
Think Again and Originals, and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
Anyone who thinks business is all about balance sheets and income
statements should be required to read The Art of Business
Wars. Whether he's telling the story of how Apple crushed
BlackBerry or how Mattel created Barbie and Ken, David Brown has
done a masterful job of getting beneath the numbers to illuminate
the real stuff of business: ego, passion, ambition - and all-out
combat. -- Joe Nocera, Bloomberg business columnist
The Business Wars podcast is a must-listen for anyone trying
to understand how new entrants can topple even the most powerful
and entrenched industry leaders. The Art of Business Wars
leverages the key takeaways from the podcast to illustrate how
putting the consumer first exploits the vulnerabilities of
incumbents who find it challenging to disrupt their legacy business
models. If Blockbuster had learned the 'art of war' from
Business Wars, maybe they would not have been toppled by
Netflix. -- Rich Greenfield, partner and analyst, LightShed
Ventures
