Description
Smart executives fail, often in spectacular fashion. A company may break new ground, analysts will praise it, and its CEO will be featured on the cover of a prominent business magazine. Yet, just two years later, the company is struggling, its pension plan is under threat, and its stock value has plummeted. Research by Sydney Finkelstein reveals that top management's mistakes are often rooted in specific, identifiable ways. He examines the stories of great business disasters to demonstrate how companies can become vulnerable to failure. This book provides a clear explanation of the mechanics of business failure, how to avoid it, and what to do if it happens. By understanding the causes of corporate mistakes, readers can gain valuable insights into the world of business and management.
