Dealing with Darwin - by Geoffrey A Moore (Paperback)

About the Book

A bestselling author shows companies how to rise to the challenge of natural selection and master their own evolution, in order to thrive in today's eat-or-be-eaten economic jungle.

Book Synopsis

The Darwinian struggle of business keeps getting more brutal as competitive advantage gaps get narrower and narrower. Anything you invent today will soon be copied by someone else--probably better and cheaper.

Many companies thrive during the early stages of their life cycle, only to fall slack during periods of inertia and die out while others surge ahead. But as Geoffrey Moore shows, some notable companies have figured out how to deal with Darwin in their mature years--making changes on the fly while fending off challenges from every quarter.
