The Growth Drivers

Autor Andy Bird, Mhairi Mcewan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2011

Problema centrală pe care o rezolvă The Growth Drivers este dificultatea organizațiilor de a genera o creștere profitabilă și sustenabilă într-un mediu dominat de fuziunea dintre tehnologie și media. Constatăm că multe companii eșuează nu din lipsa resurselor, ci din cauza incapacității de a transforma funcția de marketing într-un pilon strategic activ. Suntem de părere că autorii, Andy Bird și Mhairi Mcewan, oferă aici soluția practică pentru depășirea acestui blocaj: dezvoltarea sistematică a capabilităților de marketing la nivelul întregii structuri organizaționale. Descoperim în acest volum o metodologie validată de peste 50 de companii multinaționale, care mută accentul de pe simplele tactice de promovare către o viziune centrată pe client și pe integritatea socială a brandului. Dacă The Economist: Marketing for Growth de Iain Ellwood v-a oferit cadrul teoretic despre importanța marketingului ca motor de venituri, The Growth Drivers oferă instrumentele practice și studiile de caz concrete necesare pentru implementarea acestui model. Notăm cu interes cum autorii distilează experiența lor de pionierat în consultanță pentru a crea un manual de utilizare pentru liderii care navighează într-un mediu de afaceri hibrid. În contextul operei autorului, această carte reprezintă o evoluție firească. Dacă în The Inspired Leader, Andy Bird explora mecanismele psihologice și inspirația necesară la nivel individual, aici el aplică aceleași principii de leadership în contextul pragmatic al performanței comerciale. Stilul este autoritar și riguros, evitând jargonul inutil în favoarea unor cadre de lucru aplicabile imediat, transformând complexitatea piețelor digitale într-un avantaj competitiv clar pentru orice organizație care dorește să rămână relevantă.
