Praise for Game-Changing Strategies "This is the most exciting book I have read in years! Clearly written and crammed with interesting ideas that are brought to life with real-company examples, Game-Changing Strategies will change the way managers approach strategy-making in their organizations. Should be required reading for top executives and anyone interested in business-model innovation." -Peter Schou, founder and former CEO, Lån & Spar Bank A/S, Denmark; administrator and director, Lån & Spar Fond "Costas Markides really understands what it takes to innovate in a large corporation. This clear-eyed analysis cuts through the complexity that has muddied our understanding of strategic innovation, then does what so few other books on the topic have done: it provides practical guidance on how to implement the change. Academics will admire it for the powerful concepts, but executives will devour it for the practical insights. This is not a book for the corporate library; it belongs on the desk of any serious manager-and within easy reach." -Christopher A. Bartlett, Thomas Casserly Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, Harvard Business School "Business-model innovations can change the rules of an industry and unlock enormous sources of new value. Yet many companies find changing their business model a hazardous and sometimes fatal journey. Game-Changing Strategies provides a fresh and insightful perspective on how companies can navigate this journey successfully and profit from business-model change. Based on a decade of research and filled with real-world examples, the book shows how managers of both established and entrepreneurial companies can change, and raise, their game." -Eric D. Beinhocker, author, The Origin of Wealth "By emphasizing the organizational challenges of implementing radical new business models, Game-Changing Strategies provides a useful road map to companies that aspire to innovate in their business model. ?I thoroughly recommend this book to those courageous enough to consider breaking the rules in their industries." -Mark Price, managing director, Waitrose, United Kingdom
