Creative Destruction: Why Companies That are Built to Last
Underperform the Market and How to Successfully Transform Them
Foster, senior partner at McKinsey
& Company, argues that companies that have
"outperformed" the market over the past 36 years by creating,
operating and trading businesses – not by building for the long-term.
McKnight, of the Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, has developed a
framework for analyzing industry changes and business strategies to deal
with the forces of "creative destruction". Place:
