The Great Disruption, based around a compilation of The Economist's most popular "Schumpeter" columns on management, examines the unprecedented disruption of business and society in recent years. The book will provide vital perspectives for managers, students and anyone interested in the transforming world of work.
The disruption has many causes: the internet's rapid spread; the challenge from emerging markets in innovation and manufacturing; clever management techniques that are forcing companies to rethink strategy; robots advancing from the factory floor into the service sector; and much more. These developments are shaking business and society to its foundations, producing a new set of winners and losers in the world, and forcing everyone to adapt.
The Great Disruption explains:
- The forces that are disrupting today's business world, and the management gurus that predicted them.
- Who are the winners and the losers, and how institutions have tried (and often failed) to change.
- How classic management problems, such as talent, distribution, outsourcing, and much more, persist but with a new twist.
- What the future holds for companies, universities, competition and society.
