Karaoke capitalism : management for mankind Kjell A. Nordström Jonas Ridderstråle

In the long-awaited follow-up to the international bestseller Funky Business, Jonas Ridderstråle and Kjell A Nordström launch a new manifesto for how to make it in the world of Karaoke Capitalism. The karaoke economy is dominated by individuals with endless choice. The trouble for business is that the karaoke club is also home to institutionalized. Copy-cats abound. Only imagination and innovation place societies, organizations and individuals center-stage. Karaoke Capitalism is a call to arms. Kjell and Jonas are rebels with a cause. With their unorthodox combination of academic rigor, forceful logic and funky free-thinking they once again re-write the rules for evolutionaries. This is a true work-out for the wits. Free your mind! The book teaches us how to successfully compete on competencies, create capitalism with character, and how to have a great life while also making a living. It is required reading for all those wanting to be a first-rate version of themselves rather than a second-rate version of someone else. "If you loved Funky Business as much as I did, you´ll love Karaoke Capitalism. Weird? Most certainly. Different? Most definitely. But, if you want to re-imagine your organization and your career it´s a thought-provoking place to start." Tom Peters, management guru and author of "Re-imagine" and many other fine management books.
