The Innocent Man on Playaway: Ready-To-Go Digital Audiobooks»rank: 954219by: John Grisham
: :In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women.

Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led to Ron Williamson.

Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour ... |

Competing for the Future (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition)»rank: 1117243by: Gary Hamel, C. K. Prahalad
: :Is your company a rule maker or a rule follower? Does your company focus on catching up or on getting out in front? Do you spend the bulk of your time as a maintenance engineer preserving the status quo or as an architect designing the future?

Strategic Alliances: Three Ways to Make Them Work»rank: 724299by: Steve Steinhilber
: :As a top executive, you've almost certainly forged strategic alliances with other companies. Some of these deals have worked--but many others have likely failed. In fact, companies worldwide launch more than two thousand strategic alliances every year, and more than half never deliver as promised. In Making Alliances Work, Steve Steinhilber proves that, despite the odds, alliances are critical to the business strategy for companies competing globally: customers want integrated solutions to their problems, and that's pushing companies to work together to create differentiated offerings. Equally crucial, well-managed alliances generate important forms of business value, including new products and accelerated growth. Drawing on his experience as the head of Cisco's Strategic Alliances ... |
