Standing on the Sun : What the Next Wave of Capitalism Will Look Like and Why It Matters to You

What's the Single, Powerful, Practical Idea (SPPI)? What capitalism will look like in the future and what it all means for business. Description: That global commerce is undergoing a tectonic shift is no secret. What you haven't yet heard, and are probably looking for, is a clear-eyed and cogent view of what the world will look like as this transformation takes shape, including the specific opportunities that will emerge. This book scans the world landscape to provide a vision for the future, and delivers the so-what action items that businesses so desperately need. . This is not a book about the recent great recession or the best policy moves. It's about economic change drawn on a larger canvas, and how it is ushering in a whole new future for capitalism. . Recapitalism does not discuss marketing to the "bottom of the pyramid" or success models for doing business in the emerging economies. Instead, it identifies the innovations that will disrupt the patterns of business and governance around the world. It will reveal the nascent, market-leading management solutions that are the very beginning of the next wave. It will offer compelling stories and examples that describe the new measurement of value, the changing nature of scarcity, the value of sustainability, and the pricing of externalities that are all suddenly wide open to reinterpretation. . Chris Meyer has spent his entire career translating the meaning of change for organizations. In this new book, Capitalism Transformed, written with our own Julia Kirby, he identifies the specific ways in which our current assumptions about capitalism will be contradicted, and describes the opportunities that lie ahead for organizations that are correctly positioned. Audience: General business readers - including Emerging and Established Leaders who want an engaging and authoritative perspective on the future of capitalism. The approach is Inspire Me but will include managerial implications and takeaways. (Chris's plan is to steer clear of policy and focus on insightful stories as well as actions and implications for business.) Distinctive content features and benefits to readers: · Future-focused: The first book to clearly describe the opportunities for organizations as the changing nature of capitalism alters everything from customers and pricing to access to resources and talent. · Authoritative: Chris Meyer is a respected, credible authority with a well-established record for aptly translating future trends for business practitioners. · Well-written: Filled with new examples and surprising stories.
