For the next few weeks, I am pleased to provide a link on one of the sponsor slots to Jeffrey Word’s new book Business Network Transformation. 3 reasons for my doing so:
- It is a good read – compiled with some of the best minds in the industry – see below
- Benefits a good cause – The World Food Programme
- Jeffrey very kindly shared advance copies with every contributor to the Technology and my Hobby/Passion series on this blog.
Synopsis of the Book
“Rather than implementing rigid "built-to-last" processes, organizations are now constructing more fluid "built-to-adapt" networks in which each member focuses on its differentiation and relies increasingly on its partners, suppliers, and customers to provide the rest…..this book offers cutting edge research and an in-depth exploration of critical topics such as customer value, supply networks, product leadership, global processes, operations, innovation, relationship management, and IT.
Contributors include Geoffrey Moore, Philip Lay, Marco Iansiti, Mohan Sawhney, Ranjay Gulati, David Kletter, Venkat Venkatraman, John Hagel III, John Seely Brown, Gautam Kasthurirangan, Randall Russell, Henry Chesbrough, Jeffrey Dyer, and Andrew McAfee.”
