About this title

From the Author:

If you are as deeply passionate about the world of business and supply chain networks as I am, and enjoy exploring similar questions, and coming up with answers that will help immensely in using this wisdom to build your business, then join me. This book is a journey of exploration through the world of business networks that run the commercial world today.When General Motors filed for Chapter XI protection in 2008, it also marked the closing of a chapter in modern commerce. General Motors was seen as the paragon of modern American management theory as popularized by Peter Drucker in the middle of the 20th century. It was at this venerable company that Drucker formed his early thoughts about management as a profession, separation of the ownership from management of enterprise, the key functions of management, division of labour, theory of leadership of enterprise, indeed the very concept of the corporation. His writings filled the needs of the time, and were picked up by Ivy League business schools and corporations alike to form the basic foundation of management profession.Indeed there was a time when General Motors and US commerce were thought of as interchangeable entities with the popular aphorism that "what is good for GM is good for America and vice versa." Some people still think this is the case. They see the decline of General Motors as symptomatic of a wider malaise in the US economy. Others think that General Motors will rise like a phoenix to become an industrial powerhouse.While we do not know what will eventually happen to General Motors, we know that new models of commerce, new industries, new technologies and new ways of solving old problems will be required to build a stronger economy at a global level. All of these will not necessarily come out of one country, one continent or even one region.It is not a surprise that the established minds find it difficult to think outside the box. Since the times of Aristotle, Socrates and perhaps even before that, new ideas must come from new places - from outside the established order of thinking. No wonder then that the most innovative companies in the US still choose to locate on the West Coast. Many of the most successful corporations were formed by college drop outs and the most successful business models do not even have names yet.In this book, we will not only name some of these models, but we also will study them closely and understand these new methods.

From the Back Cover:

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK:This book offers a breath of fresh air in the world of business strategy dominated by the staid Ivy League thinking which cannot see beyond its very own doorsteps. When everybody is thinking alike - in general - nobody is thinking at all. This book will force you to think afresh - and it will show you how to apply your thinking in the changing business environment to create new business models that suit the modern business reality a lot more.Gennady TeplitskyEx Vice President - JPMorganChase New YorkFrom the outset, it is clear that Vivek Sood brings passion, intelligence, and uncommon insight to his topic - understanding and interpreting for the reader the powerful influence and value of the business networks that underlie success in the modern world. Well-researched, broad-reaching, and with a refreshing "outsider" perspective free of academic jargon, this practical book will give you insights you can use to create and leverage these powerful networks in your own business - a must-read for anyone who wants to understand and use one of the most powerful forces at work in today's hyper-connected world.Tony CorettoCo-Founder and Co-CEO, PNT Marketing ServicesI have been most impressed with the business acumen and insights in these pages. The author has clearly become an authority in his logistics and management field worldwide. His book is a gem to be read and appreciated by all those who desire to be on top of current managerial thinking and desire to reap the benefits of his experience and capacity. I recommend this to all. I certainly will use this book in my practice and benefit from it personally. I recommend it to my students interested in consulting, operations and logistics. A must and worthwhile read!Lin GiraltAdjunct Professor and Lecturer, Rice UniversityJones Graduate School of Business, HoustonThis book shines out of the pile not because it is an in-depth and original look into the power of the business networks, but because its author applied in it his rare passion, vision, common sense and innovation, which are core for today's business evolution, achieving results and leading and inspiring for a better world. Read this book if you want to be inspired in your daily activities, regardless of whether you are a chairman or a student - it has it all for everybody!Andrey Manev CEO, HUS5-Star Business Networks is the new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
