      Fahrziel Weltherrschaft – Wie Uber weltweit nicht nur die Taxibranche aufmischt

      Uber ist eines der bekanntesten und umstrittensten Unternehmen der „Sharing Economy“. Es hat die globale Taxibranche vollkommen umgekrempelt und ist mitverantwortlich dafür, dass der Begriff „Disruption“ in aller Munde ist. Doch was will Uber eigentlich? In welche Richtung will es den Verkehr der Zukunft lenken? Oder geht es dem Unternehmen um viel mehr als nur um den Verkehr der Zukunft? Adam Lashinsky deckt die Pläne und Motive der Firma und seines schillernden und skrupellosen Chefs Travis Kalanick auf. Und er zeigt, wie Disruption im großen Stil funktioniert, welche Konsequenzen sie für die Zukunft der Arbeit haben wird – und wie wir mit ihr umgehen können.

    • INSIDE APPLE unveils the systems, tactics, and leadership strategies that enabled Steve Jobs and his company to consistently produce successful products and cultivate a devoted following. Author Adam Lashinsky offers readers an exclusive glimpse into what makes Apple tick, likening it to Silicon Valley's own Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. This insightful exploration introduces key concepts such as the DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) approach, where every task is assigned to a specific person, and the Top 100, an annual gathering of promising executives for a secret retreat with Jobs. Drawing from numerous interviews, the book provides fresh insights into Apple's innovation processes, supplier relationships, and its transition into the Post Jobs Era. As a Senior Editor at Large for Fortune, Lashinsky has extensive knowledge of the subject; he accurately predicted Tim Cook's rise to CEO in a 2008 cover story. While focused on Apple and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, and competitors, the lessons on leadership, product design, and marketing resonate universally. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to infuse their own endeavors with a touch of Apple’s unique magic.
