Thriving on Chaos

Handbook for a Management Revolution

By: Tom Peters

Narrated by: Tom Peters

A radical new plan of action for corporate managers from the co-author of In Search of Excellence and A Passion for Excellence.

In this adaptation of his bold new book, Tom Peters delivers an urgent message: if American corporations are going to thrive in today's (and tomorrow's) turbulent economic/political world, a revolution in both management practices and organizational structure is required. The winning companies will be those (and only those) that are able to adapt quickly to rapidly changing customer needs and market conditions, creating new market niches and continually adding new value to every product and service. Combining trenchant analysis with a series of 45 prescriptions encompassing literally hundreds of concrete actions and examples, Thriving on Chaos shows what managers at every level must do -- and do now! -- if this revolution is to be accomplished.

An essential tool for corporate survival.

Keys to success

Become a disciple of Mr. Peter's principles and you too can create, grow and love your business.

Visionary for its time, not worth the purchase

Visionary for its time, and does a great job of summarizing the key points, however many of these points can be found elsewhere in management literature of today.

Not the unabridged version

This recording is only an hour and a half! I can’t believe I missed that and burned a credit on an abridged version of a 700 plus page book.

Not the Real Version

I have the actual paper edition but bought this book since I have a lot of windshield time. This book cannot even be close to the version due to the size comparison differences. Honestly, I am disappointed. The content I heard was good but can't give it 4 stars if I haven't heard the whole thing.

A summary of the book not the whole book

I wish I paid attention to the time it takes to listen to this, didn’t see anything else warn me that this is basically just a summary. Would have just bought the book.
