Résumé

Survival in business depends on the ability to adapt to fast-changing and unforgiving circumstances. Agile Business for Fragile Times examines the practices of consistently successful companies and identifies the techniques they use to strengthen core operations, drive profitability, and tenaciously identify opportunities for revenue growth-through both good times and bad.As business leaders seek to ensure competitive sustainability, this technique-based guidebook presents the strategic, financial, and operational activities managers must deploy to achieve business agility.The authors highlight:

The characteristics of an agile business
Changing measures of success and the transforming role of the CEO
The need to embed a continual approach to cost and growth management
Responses to conventional wisdom, contrarianism, and the search for value

While all industries and companies are decidedly different, those that consistently weather both bull and bear markets share a remarkably similar set of survival strategies. Find out what they are and how you can best apply them for success in your own market, in Agile Business for Fragile Times.
