This book really resonates with me and not merely because the authors use rock artists I worked with closely in the past such as Kiss, Led Zeppelin and Nirvana to illustrate the management theories which have long guided the careers of rock stars but which have often eluded corporate managers. They fearlessly puncture the bubbles of predictable, mediocre but "safe" theories that preclude breakthrough success in business and they do it with humor and passion. To borrow a turn of phrase from their instantly classic text, I am a big motherfucking fan of "Heavy Metal Management. Danny Goldberg, President of GoldVE Entertainment and author of "Bumping Into Geniuses." Do you see your employees as our most valuable asset? Are you keen on having satisfied clients? Do you want to be a good leader, an inspiring business person and take your project to another level? Or are you perhaps ready to go from Good to Great? Sorry! But if thats what you really want, then this book is sadly not for you. We wrote Heavy Metal Management for Great Leaders, ready for World Domination. And beyond! Heavy metal has existed as an art form for almost fifty years now. During this period, the best and brightest havedespite cutthroat competition and extremely low barriers to entrycreated global brands from four chord progressions. Astonishingly, most businessmen havent even begun to learn from these great Heroes of Metal. Heavy Metal Management gets you started on the Highway to the hell where customers are raving, motherf*****g fans, where your management team are the baddest guys on the block and yourself the Total Frontman. Grab the chance and buy this book or burn in the eternal fire!

When a company is committed to growing through innovation - not just exploiting the existing business models - standard accounting documents offer insufficient and, oftentimes irrelevant data. <i>Innovation Accounting</i> is a practical guide for these companies to help them measure and track innovation. Most established organizations have understood the need to innovate and become more digital, however the management tools available to leaders seeking to understand the investments in innovation are lacking. Financial accounting in particular is difficult to use in the context of (digital) innovation. Therefore a new complementary system for measuring and tracking innovation is needed.<br/><br/>The book provides tools, frameworks, templates, and visualizations that can be easily understood and applied. These can all be used by executives looking for a new way of measuring corporate performance in a world where accounting-recognized assets are becoming commodities, by investors seeking better ways of looking at a company's growth potential, and by managers who need to valuate innovation product teams using more than just financial indicators. <i>Innovation Accounting</i> is an essential go-to book for anyone that wants to measure their company's innovation ecosystem.
