Billion-Dollar Lessons by Paul B Carroll
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.
Chunka Mui is the coauthor of the bestselling Unleashing the Killer App. Paul Carroll wrote the bestselling Big Blues. Together, they also coauthored the award-winning Billion Dollar Lessons.
