Emerging Markets Rule: Growth Strategies of the New Global Giants

# data[].attributes.description
SEIZE THE ADVANTAGE IN THE GLOBAL WAR FOR MARKET SHARE

<p>Winner of the 2013 Small Business Book Award - Top 10 Overall</p>

<p>The newest economic behemoth, China, is snatching market share from the U.S., Japan, and Europe at an alarming rate. But China isn't alone. The world's largest producers of biofuel, meat, consumer electronics, regional jets, baked goods, candy, and many other products are all emerging market multinationals (EMMs). And industries poised to be taken over by EMMs include personal computers, IT services, mining, wind turbines, and cement.</p>

<p> The balance of power in the global economy is shifting.</p>

<p> Are you in a position to compete with the most energetic, imaginative companies on the planet?</p>

<p>In Emerging Markets Rule, two experts on the global shift in economic hegemony explain what is happening, why it is happening--and how you can prevent it from happening to you. The authors provide an action plan based on leaner, more operationally proficient ways for maintaining the competitive advantage based on seven new axioms of global competitiveness:</p>

 Execute, strategize, and execute again

Cater to the niches

Scale to win

Embrace chaos

Acquire smart

Expand with abandon

No sacred cows!



<p>Emerging market multinationals are here to stay; they're not going to go away, even when the global economy rights itself. "What began as a necessity--a kind of guerilla-business warfare against the corporate superpowers--has now evolved into best practices and is on its way to becoming what everyone needs to know," the authors write. "Simply put, down is up. The weak have become strong."</p>

<p>You need to learn these new "best practices" now because tomorrow will be too late. Emerging Markets Rule is your road map for business success in the increasingly competitive, chaotic global markets.</p>

<p>"Emerging-market multinationals have reshaped global competition. Using well-articulated views duly substantiated with facts, this book explains why and how they have become formidable players in both high-technology and traditional industries. This book is a worthy read for businesses and individuals alike seeking to comprehend the phenomenon of the emerging market multinational." -- S. D. Shibulal, CEO and Managing Director , Infosys</p>

<p>"This book shows the strength and potential of companies that stand out in emerging markets, reaffirming entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability as fundamental factors for the outbreak of global competitors." -- Alessandro Carlucci , CEO, Natura Cosmeticos</p>

<p>"The authors have touched on an important idea that emerging market growth can often be tapped by companies located in those markets. This is an essential book leading us to identify the niche markets and strategies for those emerging markets. A must for all international companies with growth ambitions." -- Leonard A. Lauder, Chairman Emeritus, The Estee Lauder Companies</p>

<p>"A must-read for any company on its way to becoming a global one. You will learn from companies that have developed unique ways of competing in tough markets such as China and India." -- Jorge Zarate , China General Manager, Grupo Bimbo</p>

Make Room for Her: Why Companies Need an Integrated Leadership Model to Achieve Extraordinary Results

# data[].attributes.description
BETTER BALANCE LEADS TO BETTER BUSINESS RESULTS

<p>Successful organizations of the future will be led by fully engaged, balanced teams of men and women working together synergistically to produce extraordinary results.</p>

<p>Studies prove that organizations with a greater number of women in senior executive roles are more profitable, have greater market share, and are better able to compete and grow. Businesses with fewer women leaders are just plain leaving money on the table. Yet even in the twenty-first century, women are still not equally represented in leadership.</p>

<p>In her groundbreaking new book, leadership expert Rebecca Shambaugh argues that business leaders need to embrace and leverage the broader spectrum of gender intelligence that fosters a balanced leadership perspective and yields better business results. Make Room for Her reveals:</p>

 What an "Integrated Leadership" model looks like

Why the Integrated Leadership approach is powerful--and sustainable

What organizations, men, and women can do to harness the unique qualities of men and women

How to ensure female talents don't go unnoticed



<p>Make Room for Her provides firsthand advice from men on how women can grow and advance to the senior leadership and executive levels, and it offers a female's perspective on how men can best coach and support them in doing so.</p>

<p>Featuring interviews with more than 50 top executives as well as case studies based on Shambaugh's work coaching hundreds of women and men leaders, Make Room for Her is essential reading for anyone who hopes to lead an organization to greatness.</p>

<p>"Make Room for Her delivers the essential message of Integrated Leadership to leaders at every level of every organization. This indispensable handbook delivers a new model for the organization of the future." -- FRANCES HESSELBEIN, President and CEO, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute</p>

<p>"Rebecca Shambaugh's extremely informative, entertaining, and insightful new book is aimed at both a male and female audience. It succinctly describes business leadership models that drive top performance in organizations, as well as proactive steps female executives can take to assume responsibility for their careers and become a significant part of the leadership equation." -- KAREN BECHTEL, Managing Director, The Carlyle Group</p>

<p>"Diversity is about more than values and culture--it's also about taking action. Shambaugh provides a road map to cultural change with practical stops along the way for employees of both genders." -- SYLVIA ANN HEWLETT, Economist and CEO, Center for Talent Innovation</p>

<p>"Make room to read Rebecca Shambaugh's new book on Integrated Leadership. It will cause you to rethink the leadership model your organization follows and provide you with clear strategies for integrating the best of both men and women leaders to drive performance." -- DOTTIE BRIENZA, Chief Diversity Officer and Executive Talent Leader, Merck</p>

<p>"Rebecca Shambaugh's years of strategic leadership development, her extensive study of current business trends, and her real-world interactions with industry leaders have given her extraordinary insight into the importance of increasing womens senior leadership roles." -- JOHN B. VEIHMEYER, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, KPMG LLP</p>

Heads: Business Lessons from an Executive Search Pioneer

# data[].attributes.description
The behind-the-scenes story of how a headhunting pioneer helped shape an industry

Born in Greenwich, Connecticut, Reynolds graduated from Philips Exeter and Yale before joining the U.S. Air Force as a navigator-bombardier in a B-36. After his stint in the military, Reynolds returned to J.P. Morgan as a lending officer, where he learned the lessons and began making the connections that would drive his long and illustrious career.

Reynoldss first foray into the executive recruiting industry he helped influence was with the New York search firm William H. Clark Associates. He quickly displayed his talents as a recruiter, and three short years later, on October 2, 1969, he founded Russell Reynolds Associates (RRA). Thats when the executive search business changedfor the better. Until then, the general feeling among business professionals was that executive search firms simply took advantage of easy access to corporate money without delivering real value to clients. With smart, forward-looking, disciplined marketing, Reynolds helped establish executive search professionals as important elements in the smooth running of American businessall while opening new offices around the world.

Filled with cameo appearances by some of the twentieth-centurys greatest business titans, Heads is the fascinating story not only of how RRA became one of the worlds most influential executive search firms but also of how one man transformed an industry.
