The Story of Reddit and a Blueprint for How to Change the World

Review:Alexis Ohanian’s, “Without Their Permission,” is a great book that outlines the new rules of entrepreneurship. Ohanian effectively explains that with the invention of the Internet, entrepreneurs now have the freedom to create and run lucrative businesses without going through conventional and often daunting avenues. As long as you are willing to learn some basic programming skills, taking your idea to the World Wide Web is easy and extremely affordable. Ohanian reflects on his positive experi... Read more

Fifty Models for Strategic Thinking (The Tschäppeler and Krogerus Collection)
Fifty Models for Strategic Thinking (The Tschäppeler and Krogerus Collection)

Review:Despite this book's title, the book's content has very little to do with decision making. So what is it about? A simple summary eludes me, so I'll just let you find out. I gave this book perhaps more stars than it deserves because sometimes it's nice to sit back and think superficially (i.e., like a manager). Read more

Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Review:Peter Drucker has conducted an extraordinary thought experiment and corroborated his hypothesis with retrospective data. I really believe both the logic and the implications of his book. This is because I have been an innovator (scientist and manager) in Fortune 500 companies as well as tiny Startups and no matter what the environment, Druckers definition of the "seven sources of innovative opportunity" are exactly true in reality. Especially the two most prevalent sources: solving a consumer... Read more

How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy and How to Make Them Work for You
How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy and How to Make Them Work for You

Review:I read this book after I had finished reading "Platform Scale" by one of the authors (Sangeet Paul Choudhry). I was concerned that this book might repeat a lot of the content of the first one. As it turned out this book was more focused on the business aspects of platforms. It is a well written book and I learned a lot from it. Read more

A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness
A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness

Review:The book of Frederic Laloux unfolds its true value to me after years of consulting work in various industries as well as intensive cognitive but also practical engagement in the integral theory of Ken Wilber, countless (and always new) methods, approaches, solution statements and healing promises. Continuously this was accompanied by the question, how the findings of various disciplines not only could be brought together theoretically but first and foremost could be brought forward to practical ...

How to Innovate with Minimum Viable Products and Rapid Customer Feedback

Review:For someone getting into these topics for the first time, the book will be interesting and readers might end up reading more detailed and better books to learn about the topics.
Having read several really good books, for me personally this one seemed really oversimplified and trying to put as many buzz words and topics in less text. So much, that I barely managed to make my self read it until the end. Read more

Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies
Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies

Review:I liked the information, it was an easy read, and it gave practical advice that could be implemented almost immediately. It goes right along side other system-building and productivity books.

I DIDN'T like in the kindle edition that every time the word "service" came up, it was broken up into two words ("ser vice"). And it was in there a lot. Read more
