Conventional wisdom suggests that dogfights are to be expected as marketplaces mature, giving rise to the notion that there are "bad" industries where it is unlikely that any company can succeed. But there are notable exceptions in which enlightened executives have changed the rules to grasp the holy grail of business: long-term profitable growth. Rather than joining the dogfights raging within their industry, companies such as Apple, FedEx, and Starbucks have chosen to become metaphorical cats, continuously renewing their distinctive strategies to compete on their own terms.In If You're in a Dogfight, Become a Cat, Leonard Sherman draws on four decades of experience in management consulting, venture capital, and teaching business strategy at Columbia Business School to share practical advice on two of the most vexing issues facing business executives: why is it so hard to achieve long-term profitable growth, and what can companies do to break away from the pack?Sherman takes the reader on a provocative journey through the building blocks of business strategy by challenging conventional wisdom on a number of questions that will redefine management best practices:• What should be the overarching purpose of your business?• Do you really know what your strategy is?• Is there such a thing as a bad industry?• Where do great ideas come from and how do I find them?• What makes products meaningfully different?• What makes and breaks great brands?• How and when should I disrupt my own company?• What are the imperatives to achieving long-term profitable growth?Filled with dozens of illustrative examples of inspiring successes and dispiriting falls from grace, this book provides deep insights on how to become the cat in a dogfight, whether you are a CEO, mid-level manager, aspiring business school student, or curious observer interested in achieving sustained profitable growth. 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aIndustrial management 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 676 $a658.4/012 700 $aSherman$b Len$f1956-$01474823 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792670103321 996 $aIf you're in a dogfight, become a cat$93688702 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01078nam 2200349 450 001 9910794117803321 005 20220920094106.0 010 $a0-268-10635-5 035 $a(CKB)4100000011308011 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5983631 035 $a(NjHacI)994100000011308011 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011308011 100 $a20220920d2019 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAquinas's Eschatological Ethics and the Virtue of Temperance /$fMatthew Levering 210 1$aNotre Dame, Indiana :$cUniversity of Notre Dame Press,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 432 pages) 311 $a0-268-10633-9 606 $aTemperance (Virtue) 615 0$aTemperance (Virtue) 676 $a241.042092 700 $aLevering$b Matthew$f1971-$0869556 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794117803321 996 $aAquinas's Eschatological Ethics and the Virtue of Temperance$93712500 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03637nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910778463603321 005 20221108035231.0 010 $a1-84964-309-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000802592 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH22933597 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000518033 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12159350 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000518033 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10491611 035 $a(PQKB)10524632 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000417199 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12110624 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000417199 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10436974 035 $a(PQKB)11534815 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3386499 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10480125 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL987845 035 $a(OCoLC)847193610 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3386499 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000802592 100 $a20070522d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEthnic warfare in Sri Lanka and the UN crisis$b[electronic resource] /$fWilliam Clarance 210 $aLondon ;$aAnn Arbor, Mich. $cPluto Press ;$aColombo $cVijitha Yapa Publications$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (328 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a0-7453-2525-4 311 $a0-7453-2526-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 285-286) and index. 327 $apt. 1.

Protection and the UN in 2006. 330 $b'With UN reform still in the air, this is essential reading for everyone concerned with the still uncertain future facing refugees and all who are forced to flee.'Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, Professor of International Refugee Law, Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford This book explains the complex origins and evolution of Sri Lanka's civil war and how it has created massive civilian displacement. Written by the former Colombo head of UNHCR, the refugee agency, it provides a unique account of frontline conditions during a critical period and an overview of the alternating warfare and ceasefires during the last fifteen years. Clarance analyses the scope for protecting civilians in a war zone and its implications for UN policy. He argues that Washington's bullying of the UN -- particularly over Iraq -- ironically proves the points it seeks to demolish: the indispensibility of UN legitimacy and the professionalism of its field agencies. Clarance urges the need to adopt a more actively engaged role to protect civilians in intra-state conflict, the better to address global problems such as the outflow of refugees and asylum seekers it triggers and the seeds of international terrorism it sows.The book is ideal for anyone who wants an accessible account of the Sri Lankan conflict, as well as policy-makers, NGOs and students of international studies. 606 $aHumanitarian assistance$zSri Lanka 606 $aEthnic conflict$zSri Lanka 606 $aTerrorism$zSri Lanka 607 $aSri Lanka$xHistory$yCivil War, 1983-2009$xWar work 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aTerrorism 676 $a954.9303/2 700 $aClarance$b William$01544368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778463603321 996 $aEthnic warfare in Sri Lanka and the UN crisis$93798555 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01154nam0 22002651i 450 001 UON00411527 005 20231205104742.764 100 $a20121009d1958 |0itac50 ba 101 $agot 102 $aAT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aˆDie ‰deutschen Gedichte der Vorauer Handschrift, Kodex 276, 2.
