Stalled growth is the rule, not the exception--even for the best- managed companies. That's especially true in unpredictable economic environments such as the one we're experiencing today. McKee has a unique understanding of what happens when growth stalls. His firm commissioned a study of 700 companies that had at one time been among the nation's fastest-growing businesses. Developed in concert with Decision Analyst, a leading national research and consulting firm, the study probed areas as diverse as corporate structure, competition, branding, finance, and strategy. The target respondent profile were CEOs, owners, principals, presidents, managing directors or chairmen of the board. In-depth follow-up interviews yielded fascinating stories and personal comments from executives who had been living on the front lines of real-life growth crises. McKee presents compelling knowledge about how and why companies lose their way, and offers practical advice about how they can rekindle growth. When Growth Stalls demonstrates that sluggish growth is generally produced not by mismanagement or strategic blundering but by natural market forces and management dynamics that are often unrecognized--and widespread. The book presents seven characteristics that commonly correlate with stalled growth and what to do about them. Some are external forces to which countless companies have fallen victim: economic upheavals, changing industry dynamics, and increased competition. What McKee points out, however, is how often they catch companies off-guard. More surprising are four subtle and highly destructive internal factors that conspire to keep companies down: lack of consensus among the management team, loss of nerve, loss of focus, and marketing inconsistency. McKee makes the case that, regardless of what's going on outside of an enterprise, it's what's inside that counts. 546 English. 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 650 0 Small business|xGrowth. 650 0 Success in business. 650 0 Business planning. 650 6 Petites et moyennes entreprises|xCroissance. 650 6 Succès dans les affaires. 650 7 Business planning|2fast 650 7 Small business|xGrowth|2fast 650 7 Success in business|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|tWhen growth stalls.|dSan Francisco : Jossey-Bass, ©2009|z9780470395707|w(OCoLC)244768439 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9780470395707/?ar |zAvailable on O’Reilly for Public Libraries 938 Askews and Holts Library Services|bASKH|nAH3918481 938 Books 24x7|bB247|nbkb00029652 938 Coutts Information Services|bCOUT|n11441720 938 ebrary|bEBRY|nebr10307838 938 EBSCOhost|bEBSC|n513851 938 ProQuest MyiLibrary Digital eBook Collection|bIDEB|n236833 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n3052457 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n12666371 994 92|bJFN
