Présentation de l'éditeur :

Practical strategies to propel your company to the top

American business is entering unchartered territory. Recent trends suggest that we are moving out of a recession–fairly labeled The Great Recession–into a recovery phase characterized by high unemployment with growth. As such, the business road ahead will be challenging. Growth will be harder to achieve and business failure will be more prevalent.

But the best of America′s growth businesses will pass through this cycle to experience renewed and hopeful growth in contrast to the high failure rate of those who fail to grow. The numbers are proving this to be the extreme case–a higher upside with a greater failure rate.

What are America′s recession–proof, highest growth companies doing differently? What are the values, fundamentals, and actions that will make the difference between failure, or just surviving and thriving? The answer to these questions is, what Thomson calls, The 7 Essentials–value proposition, high growth market segment, marquee customers, big brother alliances, exponential returns, inside/outside leadership, and essential board experts. This book is the timely answer to the search for what it will take to propel a company′s growth through these challenging times. It′s for management teams of any business, independent of size or industry, which desires to identify a course of action to improve their opportunities to grow.

"Applying the 7 Essentials will improve your company′s growth prospects," says author David Thomson. Growth companies are especially defined by their ability to grow through recession and recovery periods to become the new growth leaders. The case studies and the numbers in this book prove it. This reliable resource extends the insights from Thomson′s bestselling book, Blueprint to a Billion: 7 Essentials to Achieve Exponential Growth to apply the 7 Essentials to all companies.

Thomson is known as America′s growth expert on what it takes to transform a small business into a billion dollar one. He has been recognized by Investors Business Daily as the "Guru for Uncovering the Blueprint for Sizzling Growth Companies."

• Offers busy professionals essential insights that will move their business or business unit beyond surviving and into thriving now and in the future
• Written by an expert on how companies achieve growth in challenging markets
• Contains key CEO interviews and quick case studies and is supported by on–line scoring tools to help teams apply the 7 Essentials

Economic weakness has not changed the need for companies to grow. This book provides you with a proven framework to overcome such challenges and thrive in today′s challenging business environment.

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for MASTERING THE 7 ESSENTIALS of High–Growth Companies

"Thomson nails the essentials required to become a high–growth company in Mastering the 7 Essentials of High–Growth Companies. The management practices he identifies certainly applied to RIM′s Blackberry in the early years: a breakthrough proposition focusing on a high–growth smartphone market, inside/outside management with a co–CEO pair, and core alliances with brand name service providers. This book clearly outlines what it takes to grow your business which can lead to achieving the kind of exceptional growth RIM is achieving."
Jim Estill, Seed Investor and member of the Board of Directors for Research in Motion (RIM)

"Achieving exceptional growth, especially during challenging times, is rare but can be done. Applying these 7 Essentials will provide invaluable insights that can guide your actions to grow your business. I applied the ′essential′ lessons Thomson identifies while growing Staples and apply them to the companies we invest in at Highland Capital."
Tom Stemberg, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Staples, Managing General Partner of Highland Capital Partners

"HCL is proud to have had the essentials of a hungry, global, high–growth enterprise that Thomson outlines in Mastering the 7 Essentials of High–Growth Companies built in its genes. If you are inspired to grow your business, regardless of whatever country, culture or industry your company is in this book offers a practical and actionable set of lessons that will help guide your growth journey."
Shiv Nadar, Founder, HCL
