How Google Works
Hard to believe, but just like your new tech business, Google was once a start-up. Google executives Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg allow new business owner to see the inner workings of Google’s own business strategy. Renowned for its innovation, creativity, and ability to bounce back from errors (remember Wave?), this glimpse into the birth and evolution of Google is a must for anyone who wishes to emulate even a part of its success.
The Industries of the Future
Stay ahead of your competition with this book. A New York Times bestseller, Ross delivers an extensive insight into your industry’s most important advances, from cybersecurity and robotics to genomics and big data, using input from global leaders.
Reading this book is a great opportunity for readers to gain insight from a senior advisor for innovation to a former Secretary of State in the US. His extensive travel has given him access to the some of the most powerful people in business, and his book is packed with astute observations regarding opportunities for growth and the unknown tech forces that are changing — or will change — the world.
Conscious Capitalism
Does capitalism have a natural place in business? Yes, according to Whole Foods CEO John Mackey and author Raj Sisodia. Your business’ success rides on your treatment of both potential investors and employees. Referencing several other leading companies — such as UPS, Google and Amazon — Conscious Capitalism gives an insightful and expert analysis of how you can infuse your business environment with positivity for the optimum workplace culture (an essential component of Google’s success and almost expected by many people working within the innovative tech industry today). Being conscious of how your company can impact the world and how you can create a desirable environment to engender creativity and originality could make all the difference to your business’ success in the first few years of its life.
