It's Not The Big That Eat The Small...It's The Fast That Eat The Slow: How to Use Speed as a Competitive Tool in Business

It's Not The Big That Eat The Small...It's The Fast That Eat The Slow: How to Use Speed as a Competitive Tool in Business

by Jason Jennings

Harpercollins Publishers | April 4, 2002 | Trade Paperback

Conventional wisdom once told us big companies are unbeatable... and eat smaller competitors for breakfast.

Not anymore. These days It's Not the Big that Eat the Small... It's the FAST that Eat the Slow!

Jason Jennings and Laurence Haughton discovered what separates today's icons of speed from everybody else.

They asked questions like:

  • What is the difference between speed and haste?
  • Where does business go to spot trends before the competition?
  • How can leaders help people stop dreading high velocity and rediscover the thrill of deciding, acting and staying fast?

And studied the world's fastest companies like:

  • H&M Europe's fast fashion phenomenon now poised to threaten apparel stores in America.
  • AOL who gulped down Netscape and Time Warner in record time.
  • Charles Schwab the new dominant name in discount and on-line financial services.

The results are in this sensational book... a national bestseller, translated all over the globe and universally praised.

Would you like to make speed a competitive tool in your business? Here's your roadmap!

    Excellent.

    I found the title a little misleading; this book is all about being “Fast to the marketplace” not doing everything faster. Well researched with a lot of great examples, tips and “How to” advice. A great book for anyone in business, presented in a very interesting way and an enjoyable read. One of the best books I have read in months.

    The authours have studied fast companies to determine how they became fast. This book contains lots of "how to" info and uses real world examples. Some of the companies profiled don't operate in Canada but the information about them is valuable. Some of the best information deals with "speed bumps", those things that slow businesses down. Learn how to identify and eliminate them.
