Harness the power of "zero transaction costs" to ensure long-term success in every new business propositionFor many business professionals, the daily "to-do" list is hard enough to stay on top of, let alone coming up with the "big ideas" necessary to take their company-or a whole economy-to the next level. But if coming up with those ideas-or finding start-ups that do-is your job, then The Zero Transaction Cost Entrepreneur is an absolute must-read for you.With more than 20 years of experience and an extraordinary record of success stories to his credit, venture capitalist Dermot Berkery has seen thousands of business plans, and in these pages he shares the key ingredient these successes stories have in common: Smart transaction cost economics. Simply put, these businesses lower or eliminate transaction costs for their customers. Here's just one of the real-world examples you'll find within: Blockbuster Video scored big by making movies easily available to rent; that's a reduction in a transactional cost. Netflix then removed another transaction cost-a trip to the store-sending DVDs through the mail. They tackled other transaction costs - limited choice and wasted time - by moving to streaming.Finding (and loosening) these transaction cost creates extraordinary opportunities in every field and industry, for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists to corporate strategists and R&D heads. In these pages, you'll discover how transaction cost economics can work for you, in chapters that include:Why Do Other People Come Up with All the Brilliant Ideas?The 8 Major Categories of Transaction CostsMakers of Products Need to Transform them into ServicesWhy Are Transaction Costs Falling Rapidly Right Now?The Trifecta of Accelerators: Idle Assets, the IoT, and Marginal Cost Pricing

The first resource of its kind¿a multi-disciplinary method for effectively managing the largest, most complex projects in business todayAll too often, we execute projects that come with high levels of complexity or uncertainty, along with conflicting or unstated expectations from stakeholders. The authors of this groundbreaking guide refer to them as "fuzzy projects," and they are all-too-common today.In Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, project management guru Lavagnon Ika and organizational strategy expert Jan Saint-Macary walk you through their proven three-pronged approach for successfully managing such projects. It's all about planning and executing the project with three key factors in mind-reason and logic, psychosocial/human behavior considerations, and politics, such as power, influence, and hierarchy-to gain a complete picture of the project and the processes for getting it done. Drawing on copious examples, they shed light on why even well-managed projects can fail to meet business case and strategic expectations, and they show how their methods work in the real world.Throughout, the authors provide illuminating case studies, including Boston's "Big Dig," the Golden Gate Bridge, the Ford Edsel, Olympic Games, Indian Tata Nano Car, Microsoft Campus Renovation Project, the U.S. moon mission, and Apple iPhone. In addition, they provide specific questions you can ask stakeholders in order to build clarity from the start of the project.With Managing Fuzzy Projects in 3D, you have everything you need to successfully guide the most complex, unclear projects beginning to end.
