Book Description
Building a New Business within a Profitable Old One
Even world-class companies, with powerful and proven business models, eventually discover limits to growth. That's what makes emerging high-growth industries so attractive. Although they lack a proven formula for making a profit, these industries represent huge opportunities for the companies that are fast enough and smart enough.
But constructing tomorrow's businesses while simultaneously sustaining excellence in today's demands a delicate balance. It is a quest fraught with contradiction and paradox. Until now, there has been little practical guidance.
Based on an in-depth, multiyear research study of innovative initiatives at ten large corporations, Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble identify three central challenges: forgetting yesterday's successful processes and practices; borrowing selected resources from the core business; and learning how the new business can succeed. The authors make recommendations regarding staffing, leadership roles, reporting relationships, process design, planning, performance assessment, incentives, cultural norms, and much more.
Breakthrough growth opportunities can make or break companies and careers. Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators is every leader's guide to execution in unexplored territory.
Synopsis
This book offers a practical framework for launching successful new growth businesses within an established organisation. One of the toughest challenges any manager can face is to execute an all-new business model inside a successful old one. But, at the same time, companies that don't explore new avenues for growth will eventually stagnate and die. "Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators" offers a comprehensive, practical guide to launching such "strategic experiments" successfully - including which parts of the core business to leave behind, which to borrow and which parts of the new business will have to be learned from scratch.
From Publishers Weekly
By burying their titular 10 rules in a small final chapter, Govindarajan and Trimble commit the first deadly sin of business writing: ambiguity. Before that, readers can be forgiven for believing there are only three fundamental principles for stewarding innovative projects within established companies: forgetting, borrowing and learning. The Fast Company columnists, who cofounded a leadership institute at Dartmouth's business school, argue that most companies do not understand how to foster a genuinely experimental environment. Judging the new company ("NewCo") by the performance standards of the core company ("CoreCo") won't inspire change, hence the need to forget. But NewCo does have to borrow selectively from CoreCo's best resources in order to gain the foothold necessary for success, and it must learn from its experiences rather than stick blindly to its earliest plans. Govindarajan and Trimble use case studies from four industries, including manufacturing and online media. The examples, supplemented by numerous figures that reduce ideas to clear bullet points, get their points across effectively, but some readers may grow impatient waiting for the promised rules to turn up.

这本书的封面设计极其引人注目,那种深邃的靛蓝色调,配上醒目、充满力量感的白色字体,立刻抓住了我的眼球。它散发着一种既专业又充满前沿科技感的氛围,让人忍不住想翻开它,看看里面到底藏着哪些能颠覆传统思维的宝藏。我记得我是在一家老旧的书店里偶然发现它的,那一刻,感觉就像在沙砾中淘到了一颗稀有的钻石。书的纸张质感非常上乘,翻阅时那种细微的摩擦声都带着一种仪式感。装帧的工艺也体现了出版商对品质的坚持,即便是反复阅读和携带,书脊依然保持着完美的平整度,这对于我这种有轻微强迫症的读者来说,简直是福音。从外在来看,它就已经成功地传递了一个信号:这本书的内容绝对是经过精心打磨、值得信赖的。它不仅仅是一本书,更像是一个摆在案头、时刻提醒我要保持创新警觉性的艺术品。它的存在本身,就为我的工作台增添了一抹专业和深思熟虑的色彩,每次拿起它,都像是进行一次精神上的“充电仪式”。
评分从更宏观的角度来看,这本书不仅仅是关于商业创新的工具书,它更像是一本关于未来商业哲学的启示录。作者的视野超越了短期市场波动,直指技术变革和人类需求演进的深层驱动力。书中对于未来十年市场格局的预测,虽然大胆,但其背后的推导逻辑却缜密无懈可击,让人不得不深思自己所在领域是否已经走在了被颠覆的边缘。它迫使读者跳出日常琐碎的事务,站在一个更高的维度去审视自己的长期战略布局。我合上书本后,脑海中充斥的不是具体的规则列表,而是一种全新的思维模式——一种持续质疑现状、渴望重塑边界的内生动力。这本书已经成为我案头常备的参考读物,每隔一段时间重读,总能发现新的层次和更深远的含义,仿佛每一次翻阅都是一次与智者的二次对话。
评分初读之下,我立刻被作者那种娓娓道来却又逻辑严密的叙事风格所吸引。他似乎有一种魔力,能将那些原本晦涩难懂的商业理论,化解成一系列生动、贴近现实的案例,仿佛我们正在一起进行一场高强度的头脑风暴会议。书中的行文节奏控制得极佳,高潮迭起,绝不拖泥带水,总能在你即将感到思维疲惫时,抛出一个石破天惊的观点,让你瞬间精神一振,重新投入到对新知识的渴望之中。特别值得称道的是,作者在阐述复杂概念时,经常使用一些极为精准的比喻,这些比喻的巧妙之处在于,它们既能帮助初学者快速建立起认知框架,又不会让资深人士感到过于浅薄。这种平衡感的拿捏,充分显示了作者深厚的行业洞察力和卓越的沟通技巧。阅读体验堪称流畅,简直是一气呵成,让人几乎忘记了时间,沉浸在知识的海洋里无法自拔。
评分书中对于失败的探讨,给我的触动尤其深刻。作者并没有将“失败”美化成某种浪漫的宿命论,而是以一种极其务实和解剖性的眼光,去分析每一次创新尝试背后的资源错配、信息偏差和认知盲点。他将“失败”视为一种高价值的学习数据点,而非需要掩盖的污点。这种坦诚的态度,极大地降低了我在实际工作中尝试新事物的心理门槛。他教会我们如何“有策略地失败”,即如何通过预先设计好的反馈机制,确保每一次偏离轨道的尝试都能最大化地回馈给核心战略。这种对风险管理的深入剖析,体现了作者超凡的商业远见,他不仅看到了创新的火花,更看到了支撑这火花持续燃烧的燃料和保护机制。读完这部分,我感觉自己对风险的理解从“规避”提升到了“优化利用”的层面。
评分这本书的理论框架搭建得异常稳固,它不像市面上很多同类书籍那样,只是零散地堆砌了一些时髦的“点子”,而是构建了一套可以实际操作的、具有高度可复制性的方法论体系。我特别欣赏作者对“系统性思考”的强调,他清晰地指出了创新失败的常见陷阱,并为如何构建一个能够持续产出颠覆性成果的内部机制,提供了清晰的蓝图。很多商业书籍只是告诉你“要做什么”,但这本书更深入地探讨了“如何持续地做到”——这种对执行层面的关注,才是真正区分普通读物和经典之作的关键所在。我尝试着在自己的一个项目中应用了书中的某些流程优化建议,结果非常显著,不仅效率得到了提升,团队的创新士气也被极大地激发了。这种立竿见影的实践价值,远超我对一本书的预期。
