The
book Funky Business
- Talent makes capital dance (co-authored
with Jonas Ridderstråle) is a
manifesto of what our time requires
from business firms and their
leaders.The book has been featured
on CNN and CNBC, and appeared
in Fortune, Time Magazine,
Financial Times, Paris Match,
etc. and is an nternational best-seller.
So far, it has been translated
into more than 27 languages.
In 2000, both Amazon.co.uk and
Management General rated Funky
Business as one of the five
best business books of that year.
The book was recently ranked
at no. 16 in a survey of the
best business books of all time.
In Funky Business, Nordström & Ridderstråle
launch a manifesto for the new
world of business. Forget what
has come before; this is the
future for organizations & leaders.
Competitive advantage comes from
being different. Increasingly,
difference comes from the way
people think rather than what
organizations make. |
| The
latest book Karaoke
Capitalism: Management for
Mankind (co-authored
with Jonas Ridderstråle) is
a new manifesto for how to
make it in the world of Karaoke
Capitalism. Individuals with
endless choice dominate the
karaoke economy. The trouble
for business is that the karaoke
club is also home to institutionalized
imitation. Copycats abound.
Only imagination & innovation
place societies, organizations & individuals
center-stage. Karaoke Capitalism
is a call to arms and is a
book for people prepared to
take the microphone & express
themselves. Imitating someone
else will never get you to
the top – merely to the middle.
Forget about appealing to the
average. Success is a question
of exploring the extremes.
Corporations are held hostage
by talent & under siege
by consumers. The winners know
that wealth is created with
wisdom, but to remain competitive
they are forced to create knowledge
networks that create fundamentally
different demands upon an organization. |
