-Titulo Original : Monetizing Innovation How Smart Companies Design The Product Around The Price-Fabricante : Wiley-Descripcion Original: Surprising rules for successful monetization Innovation is the most important driver of growth. Today, more than ever, companies need to innovate to survive. But successful innovation--measured in dollars and cents--is a very hard target to hit. Companies obsess over being creative and innovative and spend significant time and expense in designing and building products, yet struggle to monetize them: 72% of innovations fail to meet their financial targets--or fail entirely. Many companies have come to accept that a high failure rate, and the billions of dollars lost annually, is just the cost of doing business. Monetizing Innovations argues that this is tragic, wasteful, and wrong. Radically improving the odds that your innovation will succeed is just a matter of removing the guesswork. That happens when you put customer demand and willingness to pay in the driver seat--when you design the product around the price. Its a new paradigm, and that opens the door to true game change: You can stop hoping to monetize, and start knowing that you will. The authors at Simon Kucher know what theyre talking about. As the worlds premier pricing and monetization consulting services company, with 800 professionals in 30 cities around the globe, they have helped clients ranging from massive pharmaceuticals to fast-growing startups find success. In Monetizing Innovation, they distil the lessons of thirty years and over 10,000 projects into a practical, nine-step approach. Whether you are a CEO, executive leadership, or part of the team responsible for innovation and new product development, this book is for you, with special sections and checklist-driven summaries to make monetizing innovation part of your companys DNA. Illustrative case studies show how some of the worlds best innovative companies like LinkedIn, Uber, Porsche, Optimizely, Draeger, Swarovski and big pharmaceutical companies have used principles outlined in this book. A direct challenge to the status quo spray and pray style of innovation, Monetizing Innovation presents a practical approach that can be adopted by any organization, in any industry. Most monetizing innovation failure point home. Now more than ever, companies must rethink the practices that have lost countless billions of dollars. Monetizing Innovation presents a new way forward, and a clear promise: Go from hope to certainty. Review Madhavan Ramanujam is to monetization strategy what Bob Marley is to reggae music. You must read this book.-Bill Gurley, Board member of Uber and General Partner at Benchmark From the Inside Flap Businesses need to innovate to survive, yet the failure rate for innovation is shockingly high. Nearly three out of four new products or services miss their revenue and profit goals -- or fail entirely. Companies embark on the long and costly journey of product development hoping theyll make money on their innovations, but not knowing if they will. It doesnt have to be that way. This book lays out nine rules for monetizing innovations, built on the lessons Simon-Kucher & Partners has learned through conducting more than 10,000 projects on behalf of companies around the world. This deep body of knowledge allows the authors to identify issues and solutions in new product monetization. For example, while most of us believe that there are many reasons why new products might fail, Monetizing Innovation reveals that failures fall into four diagnosable categories: Feature Shocks, Minivations, Hidden Gems, and Undeads -- and that each is easily preventable. Case studies showcase how some of the worlds most innovative companies like Uber, Porsche, LinkedIn, Drager, Optimizely, and Swarovski have used principles outlined in this book.

-Titulo Original : Trades About To Happen A Modern Adaptation Of The Wyckoff Method-Fabricante : Wiley-Descripcion Original: The definitive book on adapting the classic work of Richard Wyckoff to todays marketsPrice and volume analysis is one of the most effective approaches to market analysis. It was pioneered by Richard Wyckoff, who worked on Wall Street during the golden age of technical analysis. In Trades About to Happen, veteran trader David Weis explains how to utilize the principles behind Wyckoffs work and make effective trades with this method.Page by page, Weis clearly demonstrates how to construct intraday wave charts similar to Wyckoffs originals, draw support/resistance lines, interpret the struggle for dominance in trading ranges, and recognize action signals at turning points.Analyzes markets one bar chart at a time, which recreates the ambiguity of actual tradingEmphasizes reading price/volume charts without a secondary reliance on mathematical indicatorsIncludes a short study guide in the appendix to help readers master the materialFilled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Trades About to Happen promises to be the definitive work on utilizing Wyckoffs classic methods in todays turbulent markets. From the Inside Flap While Richard Wyckoffs search to develop a trained judgment for trading began decades ago, his method-which has been modified to account for changes in market conditions, but remains true to his original work-continues to draw great interest from traders around the world.Author David Weis is a trader and market analyst with nearly forty years of experience in this field. A recognized authority on the trading methods of Richard Wyckoff, he understands how to utilize the principles behind Wyckoffs work and make effective trades with them. And now, with Trades About to Happen, he skillfully reveals how to adapt Wyckoffs techniques to excel in todays volatile markets.Engaging and accessible, this reliable resource looks at Wyckoffs approach from a more modern perspective and shows how you can logically interpret bar charts and wave charts to find trades about to happen. By studying the chart examples in this book, youll gain tremendous insight into reading what markets are saying about themselves and develop the ability to locate turning points of different degrees. Page by page, Weis facilitates your learning by:Comparing efforts of buying or selling with the reward-volume versus upward or downward progressConsidering the meaning of the close within the range of a price barLooking for shortening of upward or downward thrust as well as follow-through, or lack of follow- through, after penetrations of support resistanceExploring the interaction of price with trend lines, channels, and support/resistance lines-which often highlight the price/volume storyWatching for tests of high-volume or vertical areas where price accelerates upward or downwardAnd much moreAlong the way, Weis introduces the adaptations he has made to Wyckoffs original tape-reading tools-which are better suited for the enormous volatility of todays stock and futures markets-and can be applied to intraday and daily price movement.When it comes to Wyckoff analysis, its easy to forget that the world of chart reading is not black or white, but gray. One has to have an open mind rather than a fixed, pre-conceived ideal.Trades About to Happen will help you achieve this goal as you discover how to develop the feel and intuition of a successful trader and become better equipped at adapting the Wyckoff method to todays dynamic markets. From the Back Cover Praise for Trades About to HappenI first heard David speak over thirty years ago and immediately was interested in his work.
