Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Rupert Murdoch is a man about whom almost everyone has an opinion. To write about his approach to business with any objectivity would, therefore, seem to be a tall order. Fortunately for Stuart Crainer, the publisher's brief for this volume was to write about what makes Murdoch successful. Crainer has a string of business books to his name, and his experience shows through in the command he exercises over his material here.

After a few brief biographical notes, Crainer sets out to describe in 10 chapters, 10 "secrets" of Murdoch's business success, beginning with his ability to "Go with the Flow"--in other words, to be pragmatic--and ending with "Drive the Company", a short essay on the man's incredible energy. Through it all, Crainer's fast-paced narrative ably disguises the Old Testament arbitrariness of the publisher's format (why 10 "secrets" rather than 12?). Crainer's technique in many of these chapters is to hold Murdoch's management practice up against the theory of one or another management guru. Amongst others, he invokes Hamel on strategy, De Geus on corporate longevity and Warren Bennis on leadership. This eclectic approach should, perhaps, come as no surprise from the man who brought us The Ultimate Book of Business Gurus. And Crainer's tell-it-like-it-is prose style makes for easy reading for the busy manager. --Nigel Shardlow --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful business man and an enigma to many!, 25 Feb 2001

By	dahhuilaudavid@yahoo.com (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Business the Rupert Murdoch Way: 10 Secrets of the World's Greatest Deal-maker (Big Shots Series) (Paperback)

This is a really good book introducing this world famous media tycoon. His ability to work very hard and his drive to be extremely successful have led many people to fear and envy. I am amazed by his speed of acquisition and his ruthless yet magnificient way of conquering the world of media. A quote from Rupert Murdoch 'The winners will be those who capitalize quickly on changing opportunities. The challenge is to move early and innovate often.'

He is a remarkable man of international identity. Making massive deals around the world and making high risk bet even before they pay off are his ability to foresee future success.

In short, I would recommend this book to whoever that has an interest in successful bussiness man. It is an ideal book for bed time reading for those who lack of time to pore over other of his thicker biographies.
