Built to Last

Autor Jim Collins, Jerry I Porras
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2004

După parcurgerea acestui volum, cititorul va deține competența de a proiecta și implementa structuri organizaționale capabile să prospere pe parcursul mai multor generații, independent de prezența unui lider providențial. Considerăm că forța lucrării Built to Last rezidă în rigoarea științifică a studiului realizat la Stanford, care a extras esența longevității din istoricul unor coloși precum General Electric, 3M sau Walt Disney. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit modul în care Jim Collins și Jerry I Porras demontează prejudecata liderului carismatic, demonstrând că adevăratele „companii vizionare” se bazează pe principii fundamentale și mecanisme interne, nu pe personalități trecătoare. Putem afirma că acest titlu reprezintă fundamentul arhitectural al oricărei afaceri durabile. Cititorul care a aplicat deja ideile din Good to Great va găsi aici contextul istoric necesar: dacă Good to Great se concentrează pe saltul de la mediocritate la excelență, Built to Last explică cum se menține acea excelență timp de decenii. Comparativ cu Enduring Success de Christian Stadler, care analizează piața europeană, lucrarea de față oferă o perspectivă americană clasică asupra rezilienței corporative, punând accent pe conservarea nucleului ideologic concomitent cu stimularea progresului. În cadrul operei autorului, această ediție revizuită face puntea către lucrări precum BE 2.0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0), rafinând conceptele timpurii despre transformarea unei mici afaceri într-o instituție de referință.

Descriere scurtă

"This is not a book about charismatic visionary leaders. It is not about visionary product concepts or visionary products or visionary market insights. Nor is it about just having a corporate vision. This is a book about something far more important, enduring, and substantial. This is a book about visionary companies." So write Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in this groundbreaking book that shatters myths, provides new insights, and gives practical guidance to those who would like to build landmark companies that stand the test of time.
Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Collins and Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies -- they have an average age of nearly one hundred years and have outperformed the general stock market by a factor of fifteen since 1926 -- and studied each company in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day -- as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: "What makes the truly exceptional companies different from other companies?"
What separates General Electric, 3M, Merck, Wal-Mart, Hewlett-Packard, Walt Disney, and Philip Morris from their rivals? How, for example, did Procter & Gamble, which began life substantially behind rival Colgate, eventually prevail as the premier institution in its industry? How was Motorola able to move from a humble battery repair business into integrated circuits and cellular communications, while Zenith never became dominant in anything other than TVs? How did Boeing unseat McDonnell Douglas as the world's best commercial aircraft company -- what did Boeing have that McDonnell Douglas lacked?
By answering such questions, Collins and Porras go beyond the incessant barrage of management buzzwords and fads of the day to discover timeless qualities that have consistently distinguished out-standing companies. They also provide inspiration to all executives and entrepreneurs by destroying the false but widely accepted idea that only charismatic visionary leaders can build visionary companies.
Filled with hundreds of specific examples and organized into a coherent framework of practical concepts that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels, Built to Last provides a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the twenty-first century and beyond.
