El manifiesto vikingo

Rate this book
El manifiesto vikingo es una llamada para dirigir las empresas de una nueva manera. Los antiguos vikingos obtuvieron sus riquezas con estrategias guerreras únicas; los vikingos de hoy en día, lo están haciendo mediante la innovación y la astucia. En ambos casos su éxito se debe a que han sabido romper las reglas establecidas. Poco a poco, las empresas escandinavas han marcado tendencias y han penetrado suavemente en los mercados a su manera, empleando dos armas que desde hace tiempo han sido menospreciadas: la valentía y el sentido del humor. Este libro explica por qué ser el más grande no siempre es lo mejor; por qué la publicidad no funciona y por qué esto es una buena noticia para todos; por qué competir no tiene ningún sentido; o por qué los premios y los castigos en realidad desmotivan al equipo. Además, como si esto no fuese suficientemente rompedor, explica por qué el dinero no es en realidad el motor del mundo.

Great read! A must for the modern manager, business owner, and marketeer. Quick, short chapters that leave you with lots of talking points for you need strategy meeting. Was able to read this in one night due to both the speed of the book and my inability to put it down. Hightly recommended.

Amazing book! We Americans can learn a thing or three from the Vikings when it comes to business!

Very annoying Marketing Guide, although aren't ALL marketing guides the very same? We seem to be doing just fine and dandy without reverting back to those smack-inducing levels of corporate jargon and moustache stroking Machiavellian ploys.

It is fantastic and well written. Moreover, insightful and no nonsense.

Libro de sencillísima lectura, fiel al estilo de los otros muchos libros del mismo género. Como ellos, no suele descubrir nada nuevo, si bien tiene la virtud de destacar/recordar ciertos planteamientos que se acostumbran a olvidar con facilidad.

Por cierto (modo ironía on): el "capítulo 44", un tanto estereotipado.

Suddenly my blood starts boiling and I feel a deep urge to do mushrooms and plunder the british isles.

Korte tekster, der forklarer nordisk folkets tænkemønstre. Det er nemt at læse og har et masse af eksempler. Tak Claes for at dele denne bog 🙏🏾

Light and breezy read about some good marketing principles. Won't blow your mind if you've read some Seth Godin, some Simon Sinek, some Ribbonfarm.

In a nutshell: Be irreverent, recognize quality, act with boldness, think different, etc etc. Triggered some pleasant thoughts.

A decent reminder, I suppose a nice book to have on your shelf to flip through from time to time. Not earthshakingly good, but didn't make me cringe. Entertaining, fun.

Some great jokes about monk-killing.

A fun, easy, blasphemous read. Not heavy on profound wisdom, but this book was a much-needed jolt to get me out of considerably less bold ways of thinking
