About the Book

This book describes a discipline that breaks completely new ground. Written by MIT professor Charles H Fine, CLOCKSPEED is no less than the secret to business life in the new economy. What Fine tells us in dramatic, cogent terms, is that today's businesses have a simple choice: evolution or extinction. And unless businesses not only choose but understand and predict their own evolution, they will die. Here is a new, systematic approach, developed by Fine at MIT to help companies master and manage organisational evolution. Using a Nobel Prize-winning study of the lifecycle of fruit flies and creating a business double-helix, Fine shows us how the discipline of genetics harnesses the power of clockspeed - a company's or an industry's actual rate of evolution - to do noting less than predict the future. CLOCKSPEED provides specific mechanisms to prepare for that future. It crosses disciplines and draws lessons from a wide spectrum of well-known international companies and industries. It is a rare combination of an original concept combined with widely applicable business practicality.

About the Author :
Charles Fine has based this book on more than five years' research at MIT. A widely recognised expert in business strategy and organisational design, Fine regularly addresses and consults executive management of the world's leading companies such as Boeing and Lucent Technologies.

Supply chains designed to master these inevitable cycles will ultimately delight customers, reward shareholders, and domi - Stuart Smith, Vice President, Materials Management, Dell Computer Corporation An ambitious and important book. CLOCKSPEED provides practical and visionary insights into how choices concerning product design, process technology, and supply chains can shape the evolutionary path of companies and industries. - Morris A. Cohen, Professor, The Wharton School, and Co-Director Fishman-Davidson Centre for Service and Operations Management In this rapidly changing environment of technology mumbo-jumbo, it is refreshing to come across as powerful a metaphor as the industrial ''fruit-fly.'' Charlie Fine masterly applies the principles of genetics and heredity to teach us the dynamics of compan - Gene Meieran, Intel Fellow (chief technology offi
