Prior to the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression, many large and successful corporations seemed to embrace the philosophy of constantly expanding their operations, to foster "increased opportunities" for their employees; a very noble mission statement, indeed. As a result, many corporations took their eye off the ball. Often, the new subsidiaries weren't nearly as profitable as their core business; they often required an inordinate amount of management time to keep them afloat, which in turn, resulted in diminished returns from the core business. It was a messy situation, at best. Then came the global economic catastrophe, fueled by a housing bubble that finally burst, along with the disasters on Wall Street. Lehman Brothers & Bear Stearns were the most notable failures. Suddenly, every sector of business seemed to be on life support. In a wonderfully crafted analysis of what businesses should do to once again foster growth, Chris Zook and James Allen have provided a fairly simple game plan: Stick to the core. Stick to what you do best while eliminating the waste. The advice is really very simple; it's time to trim the fat, corporate America. Review: Quick Read - good examples - The book provides good insight on how companies need to remain focused on core businesses. Need constant evaluation to remain relevant in the business world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1422131114 | | Best Sellers Rank | #178,185 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #346 in Systems & Planning #867 in Entrepreneurship (Books) #1,145 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (139) | | Dimensions | 6.54 x 0.75 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | Updated ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9781422131114 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1422131114 | | Item Weight | 7.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | January 26, 2010 | | Publisher | Harvard Business Review Press | ## Images ![Profit from the Core: A Return to Growth in Turbulent Times - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TLrBLuJ1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Blueprint for Success *by L***D on May 26, 2010* These are indeed "turbulent times".
