Michael E. Gerber

La primera parte de este libro está destinada a desmontar los mitos que giran alrededor de la puesta en marcha de un negocio y a describir los innumerables aspectos comunes que comparten las distintas formas de gestionar una empresa. Luego el autor efectua una revision de las diferentes etapas por las que puede atravesar el negocio en cuestion --desde la infancia, que se inicia casi siempre con la iniciativa de un vendedor, hasta la perspectiva de la madurez, objetivo de cualquier empresa que pretenda perdurar, pasando por los problemas propios del desarrollo adolescente-- y muestra la forma idonea de aplicar las conclusiones a cualquier tipo de negocio. Finalmente, Gerber establece claramente la delimitacion de fronteras entre lo que supone trabajar en un negocio propio o en uno ajeno.Esta nueva edicion de uno de los libros de empresa mas famosos de los ultimos años, por supuesto corregida y aumentada, pretende ser, asi, una guia para todos aquellos que contemplan el universo de los negocios como un compromiso sin fin, como una investigacion permanente, como una obligacion activa respecto a las distintas fuerzas que gobiernan el mundo, con nosotros y sin nosotros: un espejo en el que mirarnos para ver como somos, para ver lo que realmente somos y no sabemos, para contemplarnos honesta y directamente, para estar en condiciones de ser de verdad capaces de gestionar un negocio y conseguir que crezca de una forma productiva.

Barry Trotter is 22 and has never left the Hogwash School of Magic - there''s been no need; after all, G.K. Rollin''s books about him have made him a millionaire and Barry is perfectly happy to while away his days as a perpetual (loaded) student. The hoardes of Muddles who hang around outside Hogwash desperate to see him, touch him, are a bit of pain, but he can deal with that. But then comes news that Hollywood is planning a film of Rollin''s first book about Barry. And they all know what that means: loss of creative control; cheap merchandising; millions more Muddles swarming over Hogwash. Barry agrees a plan with Bumblemore; the film must be stopped. BARRY TROTTER AND THE SHAMELESS PARODY is an incisive and hilarious parody of the Harry Potter phenomenon. There are slyly affectionate digs at the books themselves, but Gerber''s main scorn is directed at the monster that the Harry Potter franchise has become. The book has a creative energy all its own, introducing characters and a hilarious take on magic that even J.K Rowling might appreciate.

Gerber MichaelBarry Trotter feiert seinen achtunddreiigsten Geburtstag, aber er hat groere Probleme: sein Sohn Nigel (11) soll nach Hogwash gehen; der verspurt aber keinerlei Ehrgeiz, ein groer machtiger Magier zu werden. Was Hermeline und Barry, seine Eltern, nicht ahnen: Nigel besitzt auch nicht die geringsten magischen Fahigkeiten, er hasst Zauberei, halt Hexer durch die Bank fur Spinner und wunscht sich nichts mehr, als ein ganz normaler Schuler zu sein und weiter auf eine ganz normale Schule zu gehen. Aber Hermeline und Barry liefern ihn personlich zur Einschulung ab. Und wie zu erwarten, ruft die bloe Anwesenheit von Barry die Machte der Finsternis auf den Plan.12"Der Kerl ist ein fieser Mop. 'Barry Trotter' flucht, betrugt und kennt nur zwei Ziele: viel Geld und viele Madels. Darauf haben wir gewartet, die Harry-Potter-Satire 'Barry Trotter und die schamlose Parodie'. Der gromaulige Untertitel halt tatsachlich was er verspricht. Seite um Seite Schabernack: Barry und seine Freunde setzen mit 'Rotzschokolade' Feinde auer Gefecht. Vorm Buro des Schulleiters 'Blumemore' fliegen 'Taschendiebfledermause'. Und als das Trio eine Geheimunterredung hat, schwimmt in Hermelines Tasse ein Zauberohr, das alles mithort ..."

Algunos años después de que su primer best-seller, titulado El mito del emprendedor, cambiara la vida de cientos de miles de empresarios, Michael Gerber, a su vez también empresario y extraordinario orador y escritor, dispara la siguiente descarga de su exitosa revolucion. Su experiencia laboral con mas de quince mil empresas de todo tipo le ha permitido comprender las verdaderas razones del fracaso de los actuales sistemas de direccion, asi como plantearse que se puede hacer al respecto. Segun Gerber, con independencia de su tamaño o sector, la mayoria de las organizaciones parecen sobrevivir en un estado eterno de mal funcionamiento. Y ello ocurre incluso en las empresas aparentemente eficientes, pues los sistemas de direccion, tal como los entendemos hoy en dia, son intrinsecamente imperfectos. Lo que se necesita para transformar realmente la tarea del ejecutivo y la grave situacion de las organizaciones es, ni mas ni menos, una revolucion en la propia idea de la direccion y de su puesta en practica. Pero ¿como abordar tan ambiciosa tarea? Contra las percepciones miticas de la figura del ejecutivo, Gerber opone una nueva y provocadora alternativa. Colocando al directivo en el eje central del universo de la direccion, su libro plantea cuestiones criticas tanto para la carrera profesional como para la vida personal. Por ejemplo, ¿como alguien puede llegar a apasionarse trabajando para conseguir los objetivos de otra persona? O bien, si aun no sabes lo que quieres respecto a tu trabajo y tu vida, ¿como lo vas a conseguir? En respuesta a estos temas, la obra investiga como y por que todo directivo debe asumir su propia vida, conciliar su vision personal con la de su organizacion y, en fin, desarrollar una mentalidad emprendedora si se quiere que ambos, individuo y organizacion, tengan exito.
