Abstract

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness — why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers.

Abstract

Hoe ziet de ideale stad eruit binnen tien jaar?Hoe slim zijn onze Vlaamse en Nederlandse steden vandaag al?Moeten we bang zijn voor de stad van de toekomst?Wat enkele decennia geleden nog sciencefiction leek, is vandaag werkelijkheid. Slimme horloges en camera's, sensornetwerken en drones vinden stilaan hun plaats in het alledaagse leven. Ze gebruiken de kracht van ICT om onze mobiliteit, energievoorziening, stadsbeleving en veiligheid grondig te verbeteren.Maar zijn die vernieuwingen alleen maar positief? Hoe kunnen we steden leefbaar houden nu ze groter en moeilijker te beheersen worden dan ooit tevoren? Hoe weeg je pakweg de nood aan veiligheid af tegenover die aan privacy? Dit boek beschrijft hoe technologie ingrijpt in ons stadsbeeld, wat daarbij verkeerd kan gaan, en wat we kunnen doen om horrorscenario's te voorkomen.Smart cities toont aan dat we een balans moeten vinden tussen de mogelijkheden en valkuilen die technologie met zich meebrengt, en welke modellen we het best volgen. Daarbij biedt het een multidisciplinaire insiderskijk op de ontwikkelingen die op ons afkomen, van architectuur tot dagelijks leven, mobiele applicaties en slim stadsbeleid.
