About this title

Review:

"A worthy book, one that anyone in public service needs to read." -- New York Times Book Review "Not only is this a good book-this is an important book." -- Jon Stewart "What unites us should be stronger than what divides us, and our shared reliance on infrastructure-for access to jobs, education, clean air, and healthy communities-makes it a top national priority. In Move, Rosabeth Moss Kanter offers impressive analysis, insightful stories, and a compelling road map for a new way forward." -- President Bill Clinton "What a wonderful book! With bold and imaginative thinking, Move shows how we can combine technological innovation with dedicated leadership to make transportation infrastructure an engine for growth and a spark to reignite America's optimism." -- Walter Isaacson, best-selling author of The Innovators and Steve Jobs "Delivering world-class infrastructure is essential for any country to be competitive and create jobs. Move takes a fresh view on this issue and identifies solutions that build on key American strengths in technological innovation and entrepreneurial vision." -- Jeffrey R. Immelt, chairman and CEO, GE "Savvy, persuasive, and enjoyable to read, Move is a sweeping, fact-filled look at how reimagining infrastructure and embracing disruptive technologies and new business models could improve daily life, open economic opportunities, and ease burdens on families. Everyone who cares about more livable cities and more efficient commutes should grab this eye-opening book." --Scott Griffith, former CEO of Zipcar
