How can a star product or opportunity succeed in a company avoid becoming a shooting star due to market changes, increased competition, or internal conflicts? When the market grows rapidly, technology continues to evolve, businesses expand constantly, and organizations become increasingly complex, how can companies ensure efficient operations and avoid different business units acting independently? How can companies break free from key personnel dependency and establish a successor development mechanism to continue their success after leadership leaves? What competitive advantages can companies build to maintain their dominant position in the long run? How can leaders ensure a clear understanding of the competitive landscape? How can companies master the art of product development and marketing? How can organizations foster a learning culture?
Kevin Kennedy, former Chief Operating Officer of Cisco, and Mary Moore, a renowned American management consultant, take Fortune 500 companies as case studies. With a deep understanding of the four stages of corporate growth and the complexity of large-scale systems, they have extracted the challenges that threaten the health of modern companies and further analyzed these challenges, identifying opportunities, threats, and responses. In this book, readers will not find high-and-mighty theories but rather real-life cases from the authors' personal experiences, practical strategies validated through practice, and clear descriptions of early warning signs. This has made the book receive widespread acclaim in the United States upon its publication, being recognized as one of the most important management books in the past decade.
