Synopsis

While many organisation mush reinvent themselves to compete in rapidly-changing markets, not all marketplaces are created equal. In fact, as Jack Tesmer demonstrates, there are four clearly identifiable types of market environments: Kingdoms, Battlegrounds, Jungles and Frontiers. The requirements for survival and success differ markedly from one to the next. Furthermore, what works in one market may lead to disaster in another. Your Perfect Business Match is the first book to identify these four distinct and diverse market environments, acknowledge and describe their differences, and then analyse what specific attributes an organisation needs to be successful in each one. It describes the four types of organisations - Ruler, Warrior, Hunger and Pioneer - that are commensurate with the market place environments. Most important, it helps you identify your organisation's current culture, analyse its current market and develop a new and more effective alignment, by encouraging organisational change or by promoting a shift to a different market environment. At the heart of this book is a single principle: When an organisation has a structure that is appropriate for its market, a synergy is created that deeply supports and empowers the organisation, its management, and it work force. But when such an alignment is lacking, the organisation is doomed to dysfunction and struggle, if not outright failure. While Your Perfect Business Match will break new ground with a great majority o its readers, it is based on concepts - and a widely used assessment instrument - that have been extensively field tested and refined over the past decades in organisations.
