Commodity Hell Advance Praise for Break From the Pack “Break From the Pack offers a broad array of valuable and exciting insights on how to succeed in today’s competitive environment. Unlike so many books that are long on generalities and short on specifics, Harari’s book offers tangible examples of ‘how to’ and ‘how not to’ succeed in key strategic issues. I recommend this book to any business leader.” —Garry Betty, President and CEO, Earthlink “Oren Harari has done it again! He has produced a fascinating book that inverts the rules and that will keep you up at night remaking your management strategy and tactics.” —Karen Ignagni, CEO, America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) “Break From the Pack is a refreshing look at the fundamentals of business success, written in clear, concise language with real con- tent and practical advice.” —Gordon Bethune, retired former Chairman and CEO, Continental Airlines, Inc. “In Break From the Pack, Oren Harari has once again confronted us with challenging new realities. With clarity and humor, he has made the complex and counterintuitive feel like good old common sense. The book is both entertaining and practical. It provides a new perspective on the business challenges we are experiencing today.” —Ray McCaskey, President and CEO, HCSC (BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) “With a style that makes business metrics almost fun, Oren Harari examines pitfalls that have felled seemingly indestructible compa- nies and identifies how underdogs become visionary leaders.” —Michael Milken, Chairman, Milken Institute “Executives will benefit from Harari’s fresh view of market dynam- ics, the imperative for differentiation, and the call for executive attention to both the ‘above ground’ and the ‘underground’ of every organization. His calls for ‘zero defects as the price of admis- sion’ and for a ‘passion for purpose and a passion for precision’ fit the health care executive’s agenda perfectly. If you are one who checks out a management book by reading the final chapter first, I guarantee you’ll jump back to page one of Break From the Pack and enjoy the full read!” —Richard J. Umbdenstock, President-Elect, American Hospital Association “Dr. Harari’s analysis of the leadership challenges in today’s global marketplace is compelling and powerful (and funky). He has developed an exceptional model to help organizations achieve top performance and competitive advantage. Business leaders in any country will find his advice clear, meaningful, challenging, and attainable.” —Kjell Nordstrom, Ph.D., Stockholm School of Economics and Coauthor of global bestsellers Funky Business and Karaoke Capitalism Break From the Pack Break From the Pack How to Compete in a Copycat Economy Oren Harari, Ph.D. Vice President and Editor-in-Chief: Tim Moore Acquisitions Editor: Paula Sinnott Editorial Assistant: Susie Abraham Development Editor: Russ Hall Associate Editor-in-Chief and Director of Marketing: Amy Neidlinger Cover Designer: Alan Clements Managing Editor: Gina Kanouse Senior Project Editor: Kristy Hart Copy Editor: Krista Hansing Indexer: Lisa Stumpf Compositor: Laurel Road Publishing Services, Inc.

During that time period, several individuals “stepped up” with support for which I am truly grateful. At Pearson Prentice Hall, editor-in-chief Tim Moore was always available as a genuine source of support. Paula Sinnott was instru- mental in shepherding the entire manuscript to fruition, even while being interrupted by the birth of her daughter! Russ Hall provided very helpful editorial input on the actual “wordsmithing” of the man- uscript. Amy Neidlinger, with the assistance of Susie Abraham, was invaluable in developing and executing the vital marketing of the book. And without the expertise of Kristy Hart (and Christy Hackerd) in production, there wouldn’t even be a physical book for us to read. Andrew Dailey, Herbert Harari, and Royce Flippin read early drafts of the manuscript and gave me encouragement and valuable feedback. David Groff read multiple drafts and provided continuous insights and advice that made a huge difference. Over the past three years, many smart, creative MBA students who I’ve taught at the University of San Francisco provided input and analyses that became extremely useful as I wrote this book. Two MBA students deserve special accolades: Nicole Jackson and Kyra Peyton served as outstanding research assistants. Their contributions to this book were immense. And throughout these three years, Gary Williams, the recently retired dean of the business school at USF, gave me continual support and resources to complete this project. Throughout this process, I had numerous commitments to corpo- rate clients. At my office outside the University, Lauren Swalberg stayed on top of these commitments, made sure that I fulfilled them, xi xii BREAK FROM THE PACK and in general maintained a remarkably calming order on the chaos that sometimes surrounds my professional life. Lynn Johnston has been a terrific book agent. In addition to excelling at the “regular” work that an agent does, she showed great patience in reviewing, and rejecting, my early proposals and ulti- mately helping me shape the vision for this book. Most important, I want to thank my wife, Leslie, and my sons, Jordan and Dylan, for once again putting up with me. The process that an author goes through is often not easy on a family. During the final six months when I actually wrote the book, I was often out of commission for them. They hung in there and deserve more praise and gratitude than I could possibly acknowledge here. To all these individuals, and to all the others whose kind words kept me going, many thanks. ABOUT THE AUTHOR In 2002, Oren Harari was selected by the London Financial Times and Prentice Hall as one of “the world’s greatest management thinkers” and was featured with 39 other prominent individuals in the book Business Minds. For the last 25 years, as a leading author, lec- turer, and consultant, he has presented provocative new perspectives on competitive advantage, organizational change, and transforma- tional leadership. In his books, articles, and blogs, Harari debunks conventional approaches to management and describes the strategic decisions and leadership behaviors that actually do propel organizations into a successful position of competitive advantage. His 2002 book The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell (McGraw-Hill, 2002) reached the best-seller lists of The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and The Wall Street Journal. Other books that he has authored or co-authored have achieved bestseller status and numerous accolades, including BeepBeep! Competing in the Age of the Roadrunner (Warner Books, 2000), Leapfrogging the Competition: Five Giant Steps to Becoming a Market Leader (Prima Publishing, 1999), and Jumping the Curve: Innovation and Strategic Choice in an Age of Transition (Jossey-Bass, 1994). Harari has contributed to many publications, including Harvard Business Review, Business Strategy Review, California Management Review, and Industrial Relations, as well as numerous nonacademic publications. He was the senior monthly columnist for Management Review from 1991 to 2000, and for the following two years he was the lead weekly columnist for the online magazine Mworld.org, the American Management Association’s informational website for the xiii xiv ABOUT THE AUTHOR management community. Currently, he is on the editorial board of the Journal of Managerial Issues. He served as a senior consultant with the Tom Peters Group from 1984 to 1996, and, in 1997 and 1998, he was the first designated “management expert” for Time Vista, Time magazine’s direct resources interactive website for businesses around the world.

    October 3, 2017 For Immediate Release Sharon Van Etten Announces (it was) because i was in love, Deluxe Reissue of Debut Album, because i was in love, Out November 17 Listen to “I Wish I Knew” – https://soundcloud.com/sharonvanetten/sharon-van-etten-i-wish-i-knew/s- egwWr (photo credit - Ryan Pfluger / AUGUST) “It was an innocent and beautiful record, which some of my newer fans may not even know about. This seemed like the perfect time to remix and remaster it, and give it a new life.” – Sharon Van Etten Sharon Van Etten will release (it was) because i was in love, a deluxe reissue of her debut album, because i was in love, on November 17 as a Vinyl Me Please exclusive (pre-order available Nov. 9) and via Sharon’s online shop. It will be available digitally everywhere. Recorded by Greg Weeks who co- produced alongside Van Etten and initially released the album on his Language of Stone label, the reissue has been remixed by Craig Silvey, remastered by Joe Lambert and includes deluxe vinyl packaging with new artwork and liner notes, as well as two bonus tracks. For nearly a decade, Van Etten has been treasured as an artist whose songs flow with a rare and honest vulnerability and courage. Three full-length albums since the release of because i was in love, Van Etten still imbues her songs with the naked emotion that other singer-songwriters might iron out of their recordings. She wants us to hear the humanity of her work, the imperfections that make it palpable, the longing and heartache we’ve all nursed at some point.

  • Kygo Releases Debut Album Cloud Nine Today Set To
    KYGO RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM CLOUD NINE TODAY SET TO PERFORM NEW SINGLE “STAY (FEAT. MATY NOYES)” ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA ON TUESDAY, MAY 17TH Today, Norwegian superstar, Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, a.k.a Kygo, releases his long awaited debut album entitled Cloud Nine via Ultra Records/RCA Records. The album features mega hits such as “Stole The Show (feat. Parson James)”, “Firestone (feat. Conrad Sewell)”, and a number of highly anticipated unreleased tracks. The Cloud Nine album artwork was designed by French-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker and street artist, Mr. Brainwash, who also designed Kygo’s Barclays Center show poster. “With slow-flow pulses and blears of reverb, Cloud Nine triangulates the downtempo of the Nineties, the chillwave of the Aughts and our current appetite for deep house – a sound at once modern and nostalgic.” – Rolling Stone Since blowing up on the electronic music scene, tropical house maven, Kygo, has gone from bedroom producer to one of the most hyped artists on the planet in unprecedented time. His most recent U.S. single, “Stole the Show (feat. Parson James)”, was certified gold or platinum in sixteen countries. Kygo was also crowned Spotify’s Breakout Artist of 2015, as songs including “Firestone (feat. Conrad Sewell)” and “Stole the Show (feat. Parson James)” helped him become the fastest artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. Tipped by Billboard Magazine as “electronic music’s next superstar”, Kygo made his U.S. television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden on October 27th, where he performed an acoustic version of his hit song, “Stole The Show (feat.
