Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today's Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves

Adam Penenberg

Notes:

If this book becomes a best-seller, the author knows what he's talking about. Otherwise, he hasn't managed to create a viral loop. (Current Amazon sales rank: 10,649).

Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance

Michael E. Porter

Notes:

Writing a business plan and therefore temporarily liberating this Michael Porter (HBS guru and superstar) title from the shelf. Not sure I could be bothered to ever read this from cover to cover ... but the introduction is always helpful.

Seeing What's Next: Using Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change

Clayton M. Christensen, Erik A. Roth, Scott D. Anthony

Notes:

Bought this instead of Innovator's Solution. In a sense it reads like a (slightly dry) thriller. Essential for people interested in the business of disruptive technology.

Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School

Philip Delves Broughton

Notes:

An interview with the author on Peter Day's radio program on BBC World convinced me this is worth buying. The UK version is called "What they teach you at Harvard Business School" and the author is fairly skeptical of the MBA concept ... as one probably should be.

Getting to Plan B: Breaking Through to a Better Business Model

John Mullins, Randy Komisar

Notes:

Is it just me or do all roads lead to Clayton Christensen? The Harvard Business Review podcast had an interview with CC about "business model innovation" which seems to be what this title is about. An interview on the Business Week podcast sold me this one. (Anyone notice a pattern?)

Rework

Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

Notes:

The latest offering from http://37signals.com isn't out yet, but it will potentially be pretty interesting. After all, they did create my web framework of choice, Ruby on Rails.

How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In

Jim Collins

Notes:

Heard an interview with the author on the Business Week podcast. The book is about companies but lots of it reminded me of Iceland and the crash (e.g. "Hubris Born of Success", "Undisciplined Pursuit of More"). Now officially on the to-read list.

The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth

Clayton M. Christensen, Michael E. Raynor

Notes:

Clayton Christensen's "Innovator's Dilemma" is one of the best business books I've read, so why haven't I read the sequel already? Will be rectified soon after hearing two recommendations in the past two weeks.

Notes:

A friend recommended it, I heard Robert 'irrational exuberance' Schiller talk about it on the radio and it's shortlisted for the FT business book of the year. Officially on my to-do list.
