Eso es lo que ha hecho reconocida a BusinessWeek y es lo que siempre nos esforzamos por hacer mejor. Nuestra serie de ediciones especiales de BusinessWeek lleva esto a un nivel superior. En colaboración con Libros Profesionales de McGraw-Hill, hemos recopilado de lo mejor en el negocio (de los gerentes, estrategas y especialistas en marketing líderes en el mundo), para analizar cómo puede usted usar las mejores prácticas y las mejores ideas de estos iniciados en su libreto personal. Cada capítulo está tomado de un estudio de caso de BusinessWeek y se complementa con un plan de lecciones para articular la clave del aprendizaje de cada caso, “jugadas de poder” (métodos prácticos que usted puede adaptar a sus propias situaciones) y estrategias del “Lunes por la mañana” que le ayudarán a enfocarse en el éxito y poner en acción las mejores prácticas. La estrategia de Jeff Bezos para transformar a Amazon, el minorista de Internet, en una plataforma para el comercio electrónico global utilizando sus características y tecnología en línea de líder de la industria. John Chambers le dio la vuelta al otrora Cisco Systems de altos vuelos, desmantelando su cultura del vaquero. Los frescos análisis profundos de cómo dirige Michael Dell su negocio deben haber despertado ansiedad entre directores generales que son blancos de su viaje expansionista. En IBM, la estrategia de Sam Palmisano para convertir a IBM de una compañía de servicios tecnológicos en un artista del maquillaje para corporaciones cambiará la forma en que las compañías se conciben y se administran a sí mismas. Los modelos de negocios contrarios vii Maq.EstrategiaPreliminares.indd vii 4/18/07 11:05:21 PM www.FreeLibros.me INTRODUCCIÓN (y ganadores) de Samsung que favorecen los equipos y dispositivos sobre los programas y el contenido. UPS trata de reinventarse a sí misma como un recurso de logística para industrias de todos los tipos. La consolidación está dando a los acereros de Estados Unidos el empujón para competir globalmente, una reanimación contada por Thomas J. Usher, de U.S. Steel. La transformación de Michelin es contada por el heredero Edouard Michelin, quien sacudió con fuerza las cosas en una compañía muy tradicional, antes de su muerte trágica en mayo de 2006. Arthur Sulzberger Jr. editor de The New York Times tiene una estrategia ambiciosa para superar débiles ganancias, la secuela de un escándalo y un mundo cambiante de los medios de comunicación. La familia France, el patriarca Bill, el hijo Brian y la hija Lesa, dirigen la lucrativa franquicia de carreras de autos NASCAR, entre las crecientes quejas de que está dominando el deporte. Y el presidente ejecutivo de American Express, Ken Chenault, respaldado por una iniciativa antimonopolio, tiene una atrevida estrategia para encargarse de Visa y MasterCard. Una nota acerca de estos estudios de casos: son sacados de reportes de BusinessWeek y son, por consiguiente, “instantáneas en el tiempo”. Se ha hecho el esfuerzo de proporcionar actualizaciones objetivas, pero dada la naturaleza de las noticias, algunos de los personajes y las circunstancias en las que se basan las historias han cambiado desde que los artículos fueron originalmente escritos. Sin embargo, creemos que las jugadas de poder en cada caso pasan la prueba de tiempo y serán lecciones valiosas, aun siendo en retrospectiva. Pero las lecciones de estas compañías y ejecutivos líderes son simplemente los bloques constructivos para su propia estrategia de juegos de poder personal, ideas que podrá empezar a utilizar el lunes por la mañana. * * * Muchas personas en BusinessWeek contribuyeron con las ideas y los estudios de casos en este libro, incluyendo Tom Lowry, Amy Barrett, Ronald Grover, Robert D. Hof, Peter Burrows, Andrew Park, Dean Foust, Roger O. Crockett, Spencer E. Ante, Cliff Edwards, Moon Ihlwan, Pete Engardio, Anthony Bianco, John Rossant, Lauren Gard, Michael Arndt, David Welch, David Kiley, Stanley Holmes, Christine Tierney, Ann Therese Palmer, Chester Dawson, Joann Muller, Mara Der Hovanesian y Diane Alford.

ESTRATEGA Conozca a Brian Roberts, presidente ejecutivo de Comcast, con una creciente influencia en el mundo de medios de comunicación. Este tipo de compañías tienden a funcionar en los extremos: o son imparables, o chocan y arden espectacularmente. Roberts, presidente ejecutivo de la recientemente creada AT&T Comcast, está a punto de enterarse si su gigante de los medios de comunicación puede volar.

Roberts estaba a punto de ser catapultado a la élite de los medios de comunicación. A mediados de noviembre su compañía, el operador de cable Comcast Corp., estaba a punto de cerrar su adquisición de 54 mil millones de dólares de At&T Broadband, el trato más grande en la industria desde la fusión de AOL Time Warner en 2001. Pero en esta tarde de principios de octubre, Roberts, con sus 1.88 m, está en una posición decididamente poco glamorosa: está encorvado hacia la parte trasera de una furgoneta Ford Econoline, de regreso a Filadelfia después de un largo día de trabajo como voluntario en nombre de su compañía. Este ejecutivo de 43 años, en pantalones vaqueros y una camiseta negra de Comcast de una talla un tanto grande, está literalmente al borde de su asiento mientras su hija dormita a su lado.

  • Bloomberg) -- Sun Microsystems Inc.'S New Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Schwartz, Pledged to Revive Sales Growth and Reverse Five Years of Market-Share Losses
    Print Sun Micro's New Chief Schwartz Pledges to Revive Sales Growth April 25 (Bloomberg) -- Sun Microsystems Inc.'s new chief executive officer, Jonathan Schwartz, pledged to revive sales growth and reverse five years of market-share losses. Schwartz, who was named yesterday to replace Scott McNealy as CEO, said he will review spending over the next 90 days and that he doesn't plan to cut a lot of jobs at the fourth-largest maker of server computers. McNealy will remain chairman. ``We're going to be ramping up the business,'' Schwartz, 40, said yesterday in an interview. ``A lot of what we've focused on over the past four years was recovering the product line.'' Schwartz's pledge echoes that of McNealy, who bought companies to add technologies and to keep Sun's products competitive in the market for servers, the computers used to run Web sites and corporate networks. While McNealy's strategy boosted sales, it failed to stem losses that totaled $4.51 billion over four years. Sun is also falling behind rivals Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. Shares of Sun gained 44 cents, or 8.8 percent, to $5.42 in extended trading yesterday after the change was announced. They added 5 cents to $4.98 in regular Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading and have risen 19 percent this year. Schwartz's remarks about status quo may not satisfy some analysts and investors looking for quicker improvement. ``I feel there's a change under way at Sun, I just wish it would happen faster,'' said Brent Bracelin, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon.

    Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Volume 25 STB developmental Bridge: improve STEMM University CARED Outcomes (Grades 7-14) Dr. John H. George, PE ABSTRACT The author was an engineer for 20 years in both development and applications followed by 15 years as adult educator primarily at a Midwestern urban university with under-represented students. Beginning fall 2008 and for the next 7 years, he developed interventions for “under- prepared” STEMM (STEM and pre-Medical) students. This freshmen group entered with ACT math scores ranging from 14 to 21. By: Shaping cooperative peer learning, Teaching problem solving, and Building self-regulated learning; these under-prepared, often under-represented students overcame fundamental future achievement obstacles (i.e., calculus and core (major) coursework sequences). Projected improvement per regression discontinuity for a student at point of discontinuity (21.5 ACT math score) participating or denied treatment is + 30% (+ 0.6 GPA) in follow-up Calculus sequence and + 20% (+ 0.4 GPA) in majority of core coursework. STB program improvements for a 50% rate of participation: Completion: + 15%; Achievement (average): + 23%; Retention: + 21%; Enrollment: + 15%; and (Identity) Diversity: + 4.4%.

  • New Sun CEO Is Unconventional, Controversial
    New Sun CEO Is Unconventional, Controversial Don Clark and Christopher Lawton. Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: Apr 26, 2006. pg. B.1 WHEN DIRECTORS at Hewlett-Packard Co. saw a need for a new chief executive officer, they recruited Mark Hurd, a button-down operations specialist from NCR Corp. who is now overhauling H-P's sales strategy. Rival Sun Microsystems Inc., by contrast, promoted a brainy insider who promises to stay the computer maker's maverick course. Sun's choice prompts this question: Does Jonathan Schwartz, who succeeds co-founder Scott McNealy as Sun CEO this week, have the management chops to revive a Silicon Valley giant? Mr. McNealy answers with a resounding yes, citing a series of smart decisions by Mr. Schwartz and 10 years of seasoning in various jobs at Sun. "Nobody has any doubts about his strategic vision and capability," says Mr. McNealy, who remains chairman and played a leading role in grooming his successor. On Wall Street, though, some doubts remain. That is partly because Mr. Schwartz says he plans to resist analysts' calls for dramatic job cuts at the company, a one- time high-flyer that is losing money and seeking more growth in sales of its server systems. "It is unclear if CEO Schwartz will be able to provide as an objective and fresh a perspective as might be needed," said Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Bernstein Research, in a research note following the Schwartz appointment Tuesday. Mr. Schwartz's operating record is "relatively unproven," and his thinking "eerily similar" to McNealy's, the analyst wrote.

    URGENT! PLEASE DELIVER TO: www.cablefax.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 5 Pages Today Monday — August 27, 2007 Volume 18 / No. 166 Pretexting Challenge: NCTA Appeals FCC Order on Opt-Ins NCTA has filed an appeal in federal court over an FCC pretexting order released earlier this year. Once again, the association is taking issue with like services being treated dissimilarly. The cable group is challenging the FCC’s Mar decision to require telecommunications carriers and providers of interconnected VoIP services to obtain “opt in” customer approval before disclosing customer proprietary network information to joint venture partners and independent contractors. NCTA told the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit earlier this month that the rule is arbitrary and capricious, and violates the 1st Amendment. NCTA sees the problem like this: Verizon can share info with Verizon Wireless because it’s a part owner in the wireless jv with Vodafone. AT&T can share info with AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular) because it’s an AT&T subsidiary. But cable companies are unable to share info with key jv partner Sprint unless customers opt in. The FCC said it doesn’t comment on litigation. The agency originally adopted the opt-in requirement in an order strengthening privacy rules for phone and wireless carriers. NCTA said it doesn’t object to any other provisions of the order, which includes rules prohibiting the release of a customer’s phone records unless the customer provides a password. This is the 2nd federal appeal of an FCC order that NCTA has filed this year.

  • Motorola's Spin-Off of Its Cell Phone Business
    For the exclusive use of P. Sun, 2017. ID# CU129 PUBLISHED ON FEBRUARY 23, 2012 Motorola’s Spin-Off of Its Cell Phone Business BY KATHRYN RUDIE HARRIGAN* Introduction In March 2008, Motorola, Inc. announced that it would split itself into two publicly traded companies by spinning off its unprofitable mobile devices handset unit in a tax-free distribution to its shareholders. The spin-off was, in fact, postponed until January 4, 2011, as Motorola prepared for this momentous strategy change. The core of Motorola was renamed Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) while the divested cell phone company was called Motorola Mobility, Inc. (MMI). At the time of its announcement, the cell phone business was the largest division of Motorola (52% of its sales), with $18.9 billion in net sales in year ending December 31, 2007, (a 33% decline from year ending December 31, 2006) and a loss of $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). Motorola’s money-losing and notoriously volatile phone business was in such bad shape that the unit attracted doubts about whether it could survive on its own.1 The other Motorola businesses were profitable (including Motorola’s enterprise solutions and public safety units, as well as its telecommunications infrastructure and cable set-top receiver equipment businesses). Unfortunately, neither of the company’s two profitable divisions—the home and networks mobility segment nor the enterprise mobility solutions segment—enjoyed the growth prospects that excited Motorola’s investors the way its cell phone business did.
