Cuts through all that New Economy hype and gives you the real deal. A wonderfully easy book to read, understand, and immediately use to drive competitive advantage and concrete business improvements.
Highly recommended to anyone looking to jump-start their organization’s use of technology.
Using the fascinating analogy of the alchemist turning magic into gold, Bergeron and Blander – two Harvard & MIT professors – describe the process of turning an idea into a successful product. And that’s just the first section!
As a partner in a professional services firm looking to diversity our labor-intensive services into technological applications, this book was right up my alley. Business Expectations helped me understand the process using real-world models and examples.
I highly recommend this book!
“Business Expectations” blasts through the self-indulgent clap-trap of recent tech business books with clear thinking and a gripping style that will super-charge your organization and its use of technology.
While some companies claim to have drunk the Kool-Aid of Innovation, reading Blander and Bergeron’s book will make you think you’ve got Innovation coming out of your pores.
A must for every desk blotter!
