Managing Corporate Lifecycles: Complete Edition

By: Ichak Adizes

Narrated by: Louis Force Torres

In his breakthrough book Corporate Lifecycles, Dr. Ichak Adizes, one of the premier authorities on organizational transformation, traced the typical corporate path from inception to decline, revealing patterns of growth and change common to businesses as varied as Bank of America to Domino's Pizza.

Now, in Managing Corporate Lifecycles - The Complete Edition, he brings listeners up-to-date on his theory and practice by combining the content of Managing Corporate Lifecycles: Volumes I and II in one convenient download. This audiobook guides your company to prime with speed and efficiency, covering the different stages of a company lifecycle such as courtship, infancy, the wild go-go years, and adolescence. This edition also reveals strategies for avoiding the typical downhill path - starting with the signs of aging (such as risk avoidance); the descent into protocol dominated aristocracy; and culminating in the final stages of decay: recrimination, bureaucracy, and death.

In addition, Dr. Adizes provides powerful tools you can use to enhance organizational problem-solving capability, eliminate the structural causes of corporate aging, and raise a healthy organization. Through his unique viewpoint and methodology, Dr. Adizes teaches the techniques to revolutionize your business, not just temporarily, but opens the way for your organization to thrive - indefinitely!

Terrible performance

The book is good and interesting, but the guy who reads and the editing is terrible, poor, the worst I’ve had in Audible

Great content. Poor performance and audio.

Great content but the performance and audio quality is poor at best. Someone should rerecord this book and release a free update for those that have purchased it.

Content is good

The content being read is good. The editing of the audio is dreadful and the reader is a completely flat slow monotone, the whole book sounds like it was read in a closet and recorded on a cell phone. By USA standards the content is misogynistic and the examples are outdated, the author is clear that the USA is not the only intended audience.
