Business Genius: A More Inspired Approach to Business Growth - by Peter Fisk

Business_geniusPublished by Capstone, May 08

Peter Fisk, author of the bestselling Marketing Genius, hits the shelves again with Business Genius - helping readers drive more profitable, sustainable growth in today’s crowded and connected markets. Business Genius explores the challenges of strategy and innovation, leadership and change as readers grow their businesses, and themselves, in order to achieve high performance.

From the craze for Crocs to the cool of Diesel, the secrets of Kikkoman and energy of Red Bull, the vision of Google and disruption of Current TV, the revolution of Proctor & Gamble and the phenomenon of Umpqua Bank – the book captures the best insights from around the world, and a new agenda for today’s business.

Seeing things differently is the foundation of genius. Business Genius will help the reader explore the best opportunities in established and emerging markets, to innovate concepts and markets rather than just developing products, and to make change happen that energises people and engages customers. Most importantly, it will help turn ideas into practical action and profitable impact.

Genius = intelligence + imagination = extraordinary results

Inspired by the secrets of market leaders around the world: Apple, Bang & Olufsen, FC Barcelona, Berkshire Hathaway, Chupa Chups, Cirque du Soleil, Disney, FedEx, Ferrari, GE, Green & Blacks, Gucci, Haier, Li & Fung, 3M, Marks & Spencer, Natura, Net a Porter, News Corporation, Nike, Porsche, Second Life, Shanghai Tang, Stella Artois, Tate Modern, Tchibo, Zara… and more.
