Favorite Business Book Since Blue Ocean Strategy

The world is changing and those who recognize it will prosper. This book goes into how knowing your core business very well and opening the rest up to the world can help you succeed in today's environment. The author takes a hard look at what Google has done to traditional businesses such as the newspaper industry. However, Jarvis does not stop there. He takes the next step to propose fixes to several industries. While many of his fixes are not feasible, they are all doable. And much to the disappointment of the current industry leaders, someone is going to catch on and take the lead.

I would also recommend his blog as a nice refresher of the books content to keep you thinking.

THE road map to business in the internet age.

This book isn't about Google, it's about innovative business models. Jarvis uses Google as the straight-A student of the digital generation. He tells the story of sticking it to Dell after a customer-service nightmare; and explains what Dell did about it. In the last section of the book, he takes a tour of different industries and shows us how they might be run in a Google world. The book couldn't be more interesting for anyone who wants to understand how to revolutionize their business in the image of Google.
