In this intriguing business novel, which illustrates state-of-the-art economic theory, Alex Rogo is a UniCo plant manager whose factory and marriage are failing. To revitalize the plant, he follows piecemeal advice from an elusive former college professor who teaches, for example, that reduction in the efficiency of some plant operations may make the entire operation more productive. Alex's attempts to find the path to profitability and to engage his employees in the struggle involve the listener; and thankfully the authors' economic models.

We live in strange times. A machine plays the strategy game Go better than any human; upstarts like Apple and Google destroy industry stalwarts such as Nokia; ideas from the crowd are repeatedly more innovative than corporate research labs. MIT's Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson know what it takes to master this digital-powered shift: we must rethink the integration of minds and machines, of products and platforms, and of the core and the crowd.

Publisher's Summary

No business concept was more important to America's economic revival in the 1990s than reengineering, introduced to the world in Michael Hammer and James Champy's Reengineering the Corporation. Already a classic, this international best seller describes how the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization, and culture can achieve a quantum leap in performance.

But if you think that reengineering once was enough, think again. More changes, more challenges are coming in the twenty-first century. Now Hammer and Champy have updated and revised their milestone work for the New Economy they helped to create, promising to help corporations save hundreds of millions of dollars more, raise their customer satisfaction still higher, and grow ever more nimble in the years to come.

WRONG!!!

If you are purchasing this book for a college class, DON'T. If you are buying it for your own reading pleasure or knowlege, it is a good book. The problem is it says it is a book, when in actuality, it is only a small small portion of the book. The stuff that is in here is definitely straight out of the text, but it is not the complete text. The total time for this guy to read the book to you is something like an hour and twenty. Do any of you honestly think a 200+ page book can be read to you in that amount of time? I didn't know how long the actual text was until after I wasted my money on this.

Maybe missing out

While convenient, I found it could have left out extras that were contained in the physical version.

Skips a lot of Content

Just like the title states. Skipped a lot of material. Still a good listen but for educational purposes, it could prove to be troubling especially if tested on it.
