Enduring Success investigates a key question in business today: how can companies succeed over time? Based on a six-year study of some of Europe's oldest and most stellar companies, targeting nine that have survived for more than 100 years, it analyses why these companies have significantly outperformed the market over the past fifty years and reveals the secrets of enduring greatness. Half of the Fortune Global 500 companies that are 100 years old or older can be found in Europe, as can 72 of the 100 oldest family businesses in the world. Enduring Success investigates the strategies that they have implemented and the nature of the leadership of these organizations, revealing that the greatest companies adapt to a constantly changing environment. Enduring Success provides practical advice grounded in research and best practice for business leaders who can learn from the history of some of the world's greatest institutions including AEG, Allianz, Ciments Fran�ais, Ericsson, Glaxo, HSBC, Lafarge, Legal & General, Nokia, Munich Re, Shell, Prudential, and Siemens.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
