Sanford and Taylor carefully analyze the global marketplace and offer a progressive new strategy for transforming an underperforming businesses.

In the first few chapters, the authors offer a somewhat bleak picture of the current marketplace, in which companies struggle

to sustain revenue growth?in fact, "the odds of a company maintaining a growth rate above the Gross National Product are worse than one in ten." Because markets change so drastically in such short periods of time, businesses often fall behind and are forced to play the futile game of catch-up. The authors advocate "letting go" of old models and embracing new innovation, especially on-demand technology, which allows companies to adapt immediately to new developments in the marketplace. With solid case studies of businesses like IBM, Fedex, Dell, Toyota, eBay and more, Sanford and Taylor guide the reader through the on-demand world, assuring institutional growth in the process.

A pioneering blueprint for the 21st-century business.
