Presenting an approach designed to help companies to master and manage their organizational evolution, this book argues that today's businesses have a simple choice - evolution or extinction - and that, unless they not only choose, but understand and predict their own evolution, they will die. Using a Nobel Prize-winning study of the lifecycle of fruit flies, and creating a business double-helix, the author sets out to show how the discipline of genetics harnesses the power of "clockspeed" - a company's or an industry's actual rate of evolution - to do nothing less than predict the future. Offering specific mechanisms to prepare for that future, the book crosses disciplines and draws lessons from a wide spectrum of well-known international companies and industries.

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -This book describes a discipline that breaks completely new ground. Written by MIT professor Charles H Fine CLOCKSPEED is no less than the secret to business life in the new economy. What Fine tells us in dramatic cogent terms is that today`s businesses have a simple choice: evolution or extinction. And unless businesses not only choose but understand and predict their own evolution they will die. Here is a new systematic approach developed by Fine at MIT to help companies master and manage organisational evolution. Using a Nobel Prize-winning study of the lifecycle of fruit flies and creating a business double-helix Fine shows us how the discipline of genetics harnesses the power of clockspeed-a company`s or an industry`s actual rate of evolution-to do nothing less than predict the future. CLOCKSPEED provides specific mechanisms to prepare for that future. It crosses disciplines and draws lessons from a wide spectrum of well-known international companies and industries. It is a rare combination of an original concept combined with widely applicable business practicality. -> the publisher of this HARDBACK book is Little Brown and Company The date of this copy is 1999 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
