M&A: The One Thing You Need to Get Right
Martin, RogerArtículo HBS-R1606B-EDirección estratégicaThe financial world set a record in 2015 for mergers and acquisitions. It's too soon to have data on how those deals will work out, but the signs are not promising. Last year Microsoft wrote off 96% of the value of the handset business it had acquired from Nokia in 2014 for $7.9 billion. The rule, confirmed by nearly all studies, remains true: M&A is a mug's game, in which some 70% to 90% of acquisitions are abysmal failures. The author has an ex...Desde 8,20 €

The Innovation Catalysts
Martin, RogerArtículo HBS-R1106E-EA few years ago the software development company Intuit realized that it needed a new approach to galvanizing customers. The company's Net Promoter Score was faltering, and customer recommendations of new products were especially disappointing. Intuit decided to hold a two-day offsite for the company's top 300 managers with a focus on the role of design in innovation. One of the days was dedicated to a program called Design for Delight. The cente...Desde 8,20 €

Design for Action
Brown, Tim; Martin, RogerArtículo HBS-R1509C-ELiderazgo y Dirección de personasEver since it became clear that smart design led to the success of many products, companies have been employing it in other areas, from customer experiences, to strategy, to business ecosystems. But as design is used in increasingly complex contexts, a new hurdle has emerged: gaining acceptance of the "designed artifact" into the status quo. In fact, the more innovative a new design is, the more resistance it's likely to meet. The solution, say...Desde 8,20 €

The Overvaluation Trap
Martin, Roger; Kemper, AlisonArtículo HBS-R1512H-ELiderazgo y Dirección de personasIn 2007, Chuck Prince, then the CEO of Citigroup, made a notorious comment about the subprime mortgage market: "As long as the music's playing, you've got to get up and dance.

But authors Martin and Kemper raise another possibility: Prince may have been painted into a corner, because Ci...Desde 8,20 €

Rethinking the Decision Factory
Martin, RogerArtículo HBS-R1310E-ECompanies everywhere compete to find the best talent in knowledge work, and often wind up with thousands of expensive employees who aren't as productive as hoped. So they lay off a huge number of them, and soon after are out recruiting again. This binge-and-purge cycle is highly destructive, writes the author: Aside from the human and social costs involved, it is an extremely inefficient way to manage any resources, let alone knowledge workers. T...Desde 8,20 €

The Public Corporation Is Finally in Eclipse
Martin, RogerArtículo HBS-F1404F-EEconomíaIn 1989 Michael C. Jensen wrote an article for HBR titled "Eclipse of the Public Corporation," in which he analyzed early leveraged buyouts and identified a new form of corporate organization, the LBO association, which he believed would eventually outperform the traditional public company. Here Martin agrees with Jensen's assessment but acknowledges that it won't come to pass for some time, primarily because LBO associations rely on the existenc...Desde 8,20 €
