How the Mighty Fall

Fülszöveg

Decline can be avoidedDecline can be detected. Decline can be reversed. Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fali? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fali before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course? In How the Mighty Fali, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins' research project-more than four years in duration-uncovered five step-wise stages of decline: Stage 1: Hubris Born of Success Stage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More Stage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril Stage 4: Grasping for Salvation Stage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death By understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom.

Great companies can stumble, badly, and recover. Every institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fali and most eventually do. But, as Collins' research emphasizes, somé companies do indeed recover-in somé cases, coming back even stronger-even after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4. (continued on back flap) Vissza
