Massive change is hitting corporate America at a furious and escalating pace, writes Andrew Grove in Only the Paranoid Survive, and businesses that strive hard to keep abreast of the transition will be the only ones that prevail. And Grove should know. As chief executive of Intel, he wrestled with one of the business world's great challenges in 1994 when a flaw in his company's new cornerstone product -- the Pentium processor -- grew into a front-page controversy that seriously threatened its future.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Under Andy Grove's leadership, Intel has become the world's largest computer chipmaker, the fifth most admired company in America and the seventh most profitable company among the Fortune 500. There are moments in any business when massive change occurs, when the rules of business shift fast. Grove calls such moments strategic inflection points (SIPS). They can be set of by almost anything from mega-competition to a seemingly modest change in technology. Intel's first SIP was when the Japanese started producing better-quality, lower-cost memory chips. It took Grove three years and huge losses to recognize that he had to rethink and reposition the company if it was to become, once again, a leader in its field. Grove extrapolates the lessons he has learned from this and other SIPs to reveal an insight into the management of change. He recounts strategies from other companies and examines his own record of success and failure. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Seller Inventory # GOR005342704
