Billion Dollar Lessons: What You Can Learn from the Most Inexcusable Business Failures of the Last 25 Ye Ars Paperback - 2009
by Paul B. Carroll; Chunka Mui
Carroll and Mui believe there's enormous value in learning from companies' mistakes. The authors have studied the most significant business failures of the last 25 years and have found that the #1 cause of failure is misguided strategy--not lack of leadership of sloppy execution.
Summary
”This book is your chance to learn from others’ mistakes.”-- Entrepreneur
In the 1960s, IBM CEO Tom Watson called an executive into his office after his venture lost $10 million. The man assumed he was being fired. Watson told him, Fired? Hell, I spent $10 million educating you. I just want to be sure you learned the right lessons.”
There are thousands of books about successful companies but virtually none about the lessons to be learned from those that crash and burn. Now Paul Carroll and Chunka Mui draw on research into more than 750 flameouts to reveal the seven biggest reasons for business failure.
