Description
The world is an uncertain place, constantly changing and often chaotic. While many companies cannot survive in this chaos, some companies can survive in these shifting conditions and even thrive in them.
Great by Choice analyses why these companies succeed while most others fail.
Great By Choice results from exhaustive, in-depth research into the business environment. It argues that success is not the result of a company being more innovative, bold, or open to taking risks, nor is it a result of mere luck or chance. Success in fact comes from a mixture of discipline, evidence-based innovation, and a fear of failure that borders on paranoia. It is this recipe, rather than luck, which enables specific companies to become great.
