"Charles Koch is right, there is a difference between Good Profit and bad profit. And this book helps show you the way to good profit - whether you work for an international supermarket chain, a medium-sized regional business, or your own start-up." - John Mackey, Co-Founder and Co-CEO Whole Foods Market "The ultimate "how to" book on running a successful business. Charles Koch's approach is extraordinarily thoughtful and comprehensive, reflecting his more thasn 50 years of experience in growing Koch Industries to the second largest private corporation in America. His emphasis on the key role that values play in his leadership and management model is especially important in today's business environment. A must read for those who want to take their enterprise to the next level." -- Richard B. Myers, General, USAF, Ret., 15th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff "Charles Koch is a genuine patriot, and his lifelong mission is to make America as strong and free as she can be. He believes the principles of economic opportunity that have guided America are worth protecting. This book will teach us how." - -(Papa) John Schnatter, CEO Papa John's Pizza "Good Profit is an exploration into the mind and philosophy of one of America's most extraordinary businessmen. Charles Koch explains - through example, anecdote, and impressive analysis - how Market-Based Management has enabled Koch Industries to create real, sustainable value for consumers and businesses alike. You'll be pleased by his openness. He's as candid about his failures as he is his successes, and willing to expose both in the interest of the greater good. " -- Leslie Rudd, Entrepreneur, Winery Owner, former owner Dean & DeLuca "Here is a clear example of the American dream and how our country benefits when successful entrepreneurs create new jobs (and more taxes for government services) while providing the golden egg for philanthropic efforts. The real story behind this book is not just Charles Koch's secret to success - it is the remarkable path he and his brother took in becoming two of America's most generous philanthropists. Their recipe for creating "good profits" has enabled them to grow their businesses, reward their employees and still have plenty left over to invest in the nation's most important charitable groups and institutions supporting America's freedom. It is a worthwhile read!" --Charles R. Schwab

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Learn how to apply the principles of Charles Koch's revolutionary Market-Based Management(R) system to generate good profit in your organization, company, and life "This book helps show you the way to good profit--whether you work for an international supermarket chain, a medium-sized regional business, or your own start-up."--John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO, Whole Foods Market The technological innovations, extreme politics, civil unrest, cyber attacks, demographic shifts, and global pandemic that have affected all businesses since this book was published have only confirmed Charles Koch's belief that "the only reason a business should exist (and the only way it can legitimately survive long term) is to create value in a responsible way." Hence, the principles in Good Profit are more important today than ever before. What exactly does Koch Industries, Inc., do and why is it so remarkably profitable? Koch's name may not be on your home's plywood, vehicle's grille, smartphone's connectors, or baby's ultra-absorbent diapers but it makes them all. And Koch's Market-Based Management(R) (MBM) system is what drives these innovations and many more. The core objective of MBM is to generate good profit. Good profit results from products and services that customers vote for freely with their dollars. It results from a bottom-up culture where employees are empowered to act entrepreneurially to discover customers' preferences and the best ways to improve their lives. Drawing on six decades of interdisciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical implementation across Koch businesses worldwide, Charles Koch walks the reader through the five dimensions of MBM to show how to apply its framework in any business, industry, or organization of any size. Readers will learn how to: - Craft a vision for how to thrive in spite of increasingly rapid disruption and ever-changing consumer values - Select and retain a workforce possessing both virtue and talent - Create an environment of knowledge sharing that prizes respectful challenges from everyone at every level - Award employees with ownership and decision rights based on their comparative advantages and proven contributions, not job title - Motivate all employees to maximize their contributions by structuring incentives so compensation is limited only by the value they create A must-read for any leader, entrepreneur, or student, as well as anyone who wants a more civil, fair, and prosperous society, Good Profit is one of the greatest management books of all time., THE REVOLUTIONARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BEHIND ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES OF OUR TIME In 1961, Charles Koch joined his father's Wichita-based company, then valued at $21 million. Six years later, he was named chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries, Inc. Today, Koch Industries' estimated worth is $100 billion -- making it one of the largest private companies in the world. Koch exceeds the S&P 500's five-decade growth by 27-fold and plans to double its value on average every six years. What exactly does this company do and why is it so remarkably profitable? Koch's name may not be on your stain-resistant carpet, stretch denim jeans, the connectors in your smart phone, or your baby's ultra-absorbent diapers but it makes them all. And Koch's Market-Based Management(R) system is what drives these innovations and many more. Based on five decades of interdisciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical implementation across Koch businesses worldwide, the core objective of MBM is to generate good profit. Good profit results from products and services that customers vote for freely with their dollars, products that improve people's lives. It results from a culture where employees are empowered to act entrepreneurially to discover customers' preferences and the best ways to satisfy them. Good profit is what follows when long-term value is created for customers, employees, shareholders, and society. Here, drawing on revealing, honest, and previously untold stories from his nearly six decades in business, Koch walks the reader through the five dimensions of MBM to show how to apply its framework to generate more good profit in any business, industry, or organization of any size. Readers will learn how to: - Craft a vision for how to thrive in spite of increasingly rapid disruption - Select and retain a workforce possessing both virtue and talent - Create an environment of knowledge sharing that prizes respectful challenges from everyone at every level - Award employees with ownership and decision rights based on their proven contributions, not job title - Motivate all employees to maximize their contributions by structuring incentives so compensation is limited only by the value they create A must-read for any leader, entrepreneur, or student, as well as anyone who wants a more civil, fair, and prosperous society, Good Profit is destined to rank as one of the greatest management books of all time., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Learn how to apply the principles of Charles Koch's revolutionary Market-Based Management® system to generate good profit in your organization, company, and life "This book helps show you the way to good profit--whether you work for an international supermarket chain, a medium-sized regional business, or your own start-up."--John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO, Whole Foods Market The technological innovations, extreme politics, civil unrest, cyber attacks, demographic shifts, and global pandemic that have affected all businesses since this book was published have only confirmed Charles Koch's belief that "the only reason a business should exist (and the only way it can legitimately survive long term) is to create value in a responsible way."

- d***t (551)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe cd was a good price, in great condition as described and arrived quickly and packaged well. In reference to the actual Counting Crows "August and Everything After" album, I would recommend the cd. It has some good songs, and 1 classic song I recognized. I highly recommend this seller as they have good communication, & they are interested in giving quality products to the customer. This I know because a CD I ordered didn't meet their quality inspection, so they canceled & refunded the order.Counting Crows : August and Everything After CD (1994) (#381316224962)
