Jim Collins

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't

Good to Great

William Lazier

From Jim Collins, the most influential business thinker of our era, comes an ambitious upgrade of his classic, Beyond Entrepreneurship, that includes all-new findings and world-changing insights. What's the roadmap to create a company that not only survives its infancy but thrives, changing the world for decades to come? Nine years before the publication of his epochal bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins and his mentor, Bill Lazier, answered this question in their bestselling book, Beyond Entrepreneurship. Beyond Entrepreneurship left a definitive mark on the business community, influencing the young pioneers who were, at that time, creating the technology revolution that was birthing in Silicon Valley. Decades later, successive generations of entrepreneurs still turn to the strategies outlined in Beyond Entrepreneurship to answer the most pressing business questions. BE 2.0 is a new and improved version of the book that Jim Collins and Bill Lazier wrote years ago. In BE 2.0, Jim Collins honors his mentor, Bill Lazier, who passed away in 2005, and reexamines the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship with his 2020 perspective. The book includes the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship, as well as four new chapters and fifteen new essays. BE 2.0 pulls together the key concepts across Collins' thirty years of research into one integrated framework called The Map. The result is a singular reading experience, which presents a unified vision of company creation that will fascinate not only Jim's millions of dedicated readers worldwide, but also introduce a new generation to his remarkable work.

Turning Your Business Into an Enduring Great Company

BE 2. 0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2. 0)

Este livro mostra como algumas corporações falham e quais são os estágios desse declínio. A obra traz também elementos para reflexão - o declínio pode ser percebido e evitado com antecedência? Até onde pode falhar uma companhia antes que o caminho se torne inevitável? As empresas podem reverter esse trajeto? Ao confrontar essas e outras perguntas, Collins analisa o fracasso das empresas, e não o sucesso.

Good to Great - Why some companies go from good to great?

__________________ *From the author of the multi-million copy bestseller Good to Great* 'No matter what your walk of life, no matter how big or small your enterprise, no matter whether it's for-profit or nonprofit, no matter whether you're CEO or a unit leader, the question stands, How does your flywheel turn?' - JIM COLLINS __________________ The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan. It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel's momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence. Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organisations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organisations can disrupt the world around them - and reach unprecedented success - by employing the flywheel concept.

0 Quando Bill Lazier e eu escrevemos a edição original de Beyond Entrepreneurship, com base no curso que ministramos na Stanford Graduate School of Business, decidimos criar um roteiro para líderes de pequenas e médias empresas que desejassem construir uma grande empresa feita para durar. Beyond Entrepreneurship tornou-se um best-seller no Vale do Silício e influenciou uma geração de empreendedores fundadores, como Reed Hastings, da Netflix. E, mesmo tendo sido meu primeiro livro, alguns ainda voltam a ele como seu favorito. Quando Bill faleceu, eu sabia que deveria escrever algo para homenagear o maior mentor da minha vida. Qual homenagem seria melhor do que uma edição in memorian com uma atualização ambiciosa do livro que criamos juntos? BE 2.0 é muito mais do que um relançamento tradicional. Quase metade do material de BE 2.0 é novo, feito para esta edição. Minhas perspectivas para 2020 acompanham o texto original, complementando as lições fundamentais de Beyond Entrepreneurship com 4 novos capítulos e 15 ensaios. Mais importante, BE 2.0 estende o legado de Bill Lazier. Este livro começa onde deveria, com as lições de vida que aprendi com ele, para que sua orientação possa continuar através de você e daqueles que lidera.

Jim Collins cùng nhóm nghiên cứu đã miệt mài nghiên cứu những công ty có bước nhảy vọt và bền vững để rút ra những kết luận sát sườn, những yếu tố cần kíp để đưa công ty từ tốt đến vĩ đại. Đó là những yếu tố khả năng lãnh đạo, con người, văn hóa, kỷ luật, công nghệ... Những yếu tố này được nhóm nghiên cứu xem xét tỉ mỉ và kiểm chứng cụ thể qua 11 công ty nhảy vọt lên vĩ đại. Mỗi kết luận của nhóm nghiên cứu đều hữu ích, vượt thời gian, ý nghĩa vô cùng to lớn đối với mọi lãnh đạo và quản lý ở mọi loại hình công ty (từ công ty có nền tảng và xuất phát tốt đến những công ty mới khởi nghiệp), và mọi lĩnh vực ngành nghề. Từ Tốt Đến Vĩ Đại là một trong những cuốn sách có giá trị dành cho giới kinh doanh được nói đến nhiều nhất và bán chạy nhất thế giới trong suốt 5 năm qua. Tại sao một số công ty đạt bước nhảy vọt... còn các công ty khác thì không? Kết quả trình bày trong quyển Từ Tốt Đến Vĩ Đại sẽ làm nhiều độc giả ngạc nhiên, đồng thời cũng làm rõ thêm hầu như mọi khía cạnh trong việc xây dựng và thực thi chiến lược quản trị. Kết quả này bao gồm: Nhà lãnh đạo cấp độ 5: Nhóm nghiên cứu đã thực sự ngạc nhiên khi phát hiện ra các tính chất nhà lãnh đạo cần có để đi đến vĩ đại. Khái niệm con nhím (Sự đơn giản trong ba vòng tròn): Để nhảy vọt từ tốt đến vĩ đại cần phải vượt qua cái nhìn nhận thông thường về năng lực. Văn hóa kỷ luật: Khi bạn kết hợp văn hóa kỷ luật với một tinh thần dám nghĩ dám làm của nhà kinh doanh, bạn tạo ra một công thức hóa học đưa đến kết quả vĩ đại. Bàn đạp công nghệ: Các công ty nhảy vọt suy nghĩ rất khác về vai trò của công nghệ. Bánh đà và vòng luẩn quẩn: Những công ty cố gắng đưa ra những chương trình thay đổi toàn diện hay liên tục tái cấu trúc hầu như chắc chắn sẽ không thể đạt bước nhảy vọt. Jim Collins nhận xét: “Một số khái niệm được tiết lộ trong cuộc nghiên cứu đối lập rõ ràng với văn hóa doanh nghiệp hiện đại và chắc chắn, thật lòng mà nói, sẽ làm nhiều người không hài lòng”. Có thể là thế, nhưng liệu ai dám bỏ qua những kết quả này không? “Quyển sách này được nghiên cứu tỉ mỉ và viết rất hay. Nó đã bác bỏ những điều hiện nay đang được thổi phồng trong ngành quản trị - từ phong trào về những Tổng giám đốc siêu nhân đến phong trào IT, đến nỗi ám ảnh sáp nhập và mua lại công ty. Quyển sách này không thể giúp sự tầm thường đi lên hiệu quả. Nhưng nó giúp được hiệu quả đi lên xuất sắc.” (Peter F.Drucker - “cha đẻ” quản trị kinh doanh hiện đại của thế giới). Mời các bạn đón đọc Từ Tốt Đến Vĩ Đại của tác giả Jim Collins.

Film Theory Goes to the Movies fills the gap in film theory literature which has failed to analyze high-grossing blockbusters. The contributors in this volume, however, discuss such popular films as The Silence of the Lambs, Dances With Wolves, Terminator II, Pretty Woman, Truth or Dare, Mystery Train, and Jungle Fever. They employ a variety of critical approaches, from industry analysis to reception study, to close readings informed by feminist, deconstructive and postmodernist theory, as well as recent developments in African American and gay and lesbian criticism. An important introduction to contemporary Hollywood, this anthology will be of interest to those involved in the fields of film theory, literary theory, popular culture, and women's studies.

Cultural Analysis of Contemporary Film

Film Theory Goes to the Movies

First Published in 1995. Much of recent theory has characterized life in media-sophisticated societies in terms of a semiotic overload which, allegedly, has had only devastating effects on communication and subjectivity. In Architectures of Excess, Jim Collins argues that, while the rate of technological change has indeed accelerated, so has the rate of absorption. The seemingly endless array of information has generated not chaos but different structures and strategies, which harness that excess by turning it into forms of art and entertainment. Digital sampling in rap music and cyber-punk science fiction are well-known examples of techno-pop textuality, but Collins concentrates on other contemporaneous phenomena that are also envisioning new cultural landscapes by accessing that array--hyper-self-reflexivity in mall movies, best sellers, and prime-time television; the deconstructive vs. new-classical debate in architecture; the emergence of the "New Black Aesthetic;" the development of retro-modernism in interior design and the fashion industries. The analyses of these disparate, discontinous attempts to develop a meaningful sense of location, in an historical as well as a spatial sense, address a cluster of interconnected questions: How is the array of information being "domesticated?" How has appropriationism evolved from the Pop-Art of the sixties to the sampling of the nineties? How has the relationship between tradition, innovation, and evaluation been altered? Architectures of Excess investigates how these phenomena reflect change in taste and subjectivity, considering how we must account for both, pedagogically.
