A. G. Lafley and Ram Charan
The Game-Changer
How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with Innovation
Currency, 2008
Aperçu
How Procter & Gamble turned a mature but troubled company into an engine of innovation – and how you can do the same.
Recommendation
This book is both intriguing and highly useful. Procter & Gamble CEO A. G. Lafley and business author Ram Charan draw examples from several large, successful organizations – GE, Honeywell, Dupont – but their primary focus is Procter & Gamble (P&G). They explore how P&G changed from a staid giant to an organization driven by innovation – and radically expanded its sales and profits along the way. They are candid about P&G’s organizational methods and failed innovations, and they show how willing it has become to open up and connect. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone who is interested in innovation on a corporate scale and wants to know how to make it happen.
