Brilliant Business Models: Brilliant Business

Autor Adam J. Bock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 2017

Majoritatea liderilor de business cred că un produs revoluționar garantează succesul, însă realitatea este că un model de afaceri deficitar poate îngropa chiar și cea mai promițătoare inovație tehnologică. Remarcăm în Brilliant Business Models o schimbare de paradigmă: accentul nu cade pe ideea în sine, ci pe mecanismul prin care aceasta generează și captează valoare. Subliniem faptul că Adam J. Bock nu oferă o listă de „rețete magice”, ci un cadru riguros de testare și adaptare a arhitecturii comerciale.

Volumul este organizat metodic în trei secțiuni critice. Prima parte demontează miturile despre modelele de afaceri, a doua analizează arhitectura acestora — de la relația cu partenerii la puterea narativă a modelului — iar ultima parte se concentrează pe execuție și gestionarea eșecului. Complementar celebrului Business Model Generation de Alexander Osterwalder, care se bazează pe vizualizarea prin Canvas, volumul lui Bock acoperă zona de implementare practică și ciclul de viață al modelului, oferind o perspectivă mai analitică asupra modului în care resursele brute se transformă în profit sustenabil.

Credem că experiența autorului în finanțarea de tip angel investment aduce o claritate necesară, similară cu abordările din lucrarea sa anterioară, Models of Opportunity. Dacă în acea operă Bock explora modul în care tehnologia lărgește orizontul oportunităților, în Brilliant Business Models el oferă instrumentele concrete pentru a disciplina aceste oportunități. Prin cele 12 exemple detaliate și cele 25 de sfaturi practice, cititorul învață să nu se atașeze emoțional de un plan, ci să îl supună unor teste de stres riguroase înainte de lansarea pe piață.
