Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The difference between the strategies of Murphy and Paley was that Murphy’s goal was to make his company more valuable, while Paley’s goal was to make CBS larger. Murphy’s peers at other media companies did not follow this path, but instead tended to follow fashion and diversify into unrelated businesses. #2 Roll-ups are a type of acquisition in which a company acquires a series of businesses, attempts to improve operations, and then keeps acquiring, benefiting over time from scale advantages and best management practices. This concept came into vogue in the mid- to late 1990s and flamed out in the early 2000s as many of the leading companies collapsed under the burden of too much debt. #3 Murphy was a product manager for consumer packaged goods giant Lever Brothers in New York City, until he decided to move to Albany and buy a struggling UHF TV station in 1954. He turned it into a cash generator by improving programming and aggressively managing costs. #4 Murphy was CEO of Capital Cities from 1967 to 1980. He bought several small dailies in the early 1970s, and in 1974 bought the Fort ...

Dans ce livre rafraîchissant, William Thorndike, diplômé de l'université d'Harvard et de la Stanford Graduate School of Business, tente de répondre à la question suivante : qu'est ce qui fait un grand patron ? Pour y répondre, il se fonde sur sa propre expérience qui repose sur l'observation attentive des meilleures performances en termes d'entreprises et de leadership pour ensuite étudier huit super-patrons qui ont délivrés des résultats exceptionnels, en l'occurrence des rendements de vingt fois supérieures à ceux du S&P 500 (faisant qu'un investissement de 10 000$ ait rapporté en vingt-cinq ans un million et demi de dollars, en moyenne). Peut-être que leurs noms ne vous disent pas grand chose mais vous connaissez probablement leurs entreprises. Il s'agit de General Cinema, Ralston Purina, le Washington Post, Berkshire Hathaway, General Dynamics, Capital Cities, TCI et Teledyne. Vous découvrirez dans cet ouvrage les caractéristiques mentales de ces individus d'exception et les méthodes qui les ont aidés à enregistrer de telles performances.

Autor: Shortcut Edition

Número de Páginas: 31

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you'll learn about eight executives who have enabled their companies to generate exceptional returns for their shareholders. You will also discover: the landmark decisions these leaders made to transform their companies ; the commonalities in their visions and methods; the skills that shareholders expect from executives in terms of value creation; the importance of being surrounded by people you can trust; how effective management can distance itself from the demands of market players. From an economic point of view, the raison d'être of a company is the creation of value. The role of the manager is therefore fundamental and many investors are interested in his skills to judge the potential value of a company. The Outsiders presented here are not always leaders known to the general public, but they have nevertheless been at the head of companies that have achieved exceptional results. Their backgrounds and methods demonstrate the importance of executive decision-making. How did the Outsiders manage to build companies that...

Powerful lessons in forward-thinking leadership from the global business pioneer who turned IDG into a $3 billion technology media and venture capital empireLike Steve Jobs, Patrick McGovern created a worldwide multibillion-dollar industry by thinking differently, disrupting old business models, and embracing new global trends. He drove the future forward and never looked back. His company, International Data Group (IDG), quickly became a global powerhouse with information technology publications in markets around the world. IDG broke new ground in the 1980s by opening offices in China, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and other markets deemed off-limits. IDG thrived across a series of technology and media industry shifts—from mainframe computers to minicomputers to personal computers, from print to digital, and through into the age of the Internet and smartphones—that upended many rivals. Living at the intersection of these classic disruptions, McGovern never missed a beat. And he understood well before most that a revolution in information technology was underway and not only was there money to be made but that this business would soon become the world’s largest industry. ...

Número de Páginas: 17

Leggendo questa sintesi, scoprirete otto dirigenti che hanno permesso alle loro aziende di generare rendimenti eccezionali per gli azionisti. Scoprirete inoltre le decisioni fondamentali prese da questi leader per trasformare le loro aziende; i punti in comune delle loro visioni e dei loro metodi; le competenze che gli azionisti si aspettano dai dirigenti in termini di creazione di valore; l'importanza di essere circondati da persone di cui ci si può fidare; come un management efficace può prendere le distanze dalle richieste degli attori del mercato. Da un punto di vista economico, la ragion d'essere di un'azienda è la creazione di valore.

Gli Outsider qui presentati non sono sempre leader noti al grande pubblico, ma sono stati comunque alla guida di aziende che hanno ottenuto risultati eccezionali. Il loro background e i loro metodi dimostrano l'importanza del processo decisionale dei dirigenti. Come hanno fatto gli Outsider a costruire aziende che hanno superato il mercato e i loro colleghi?
