Three Moves Ahead [EPUB ebook] 
What Chess Can Teach You About Business

Three Moves Ahead shows how classic chess strategies address
the #1 problem of Information Age executives: how to move quickly
in the face of incalculable complexities and unexpected change.
This witty and novel guide, written for non-players, is packed with
scores of real-world examples showing how top CEOs use Grandmaster
techniques to win on Wall Street. Readers will see how a ‘strong
square’ strategy drove Adobe’s rise from niche player to
industry giant, as well as Western Union’s success through a
hundred years of technology changes. They’ll learn how AOL
has played a crucial ‘exchange sacrifice’ to revive its fortunes,
and how Google is taking turf from Microsoft with a ‘minority
attack.’ Most importantly these days, they’ll find out ‘what
to do when you don’t know what to do, ‘ and avoid the fate of
companies like Polaroid, Gateway, and our dearly departed Ma Bell.
‘A fun ride from Apprentice to Business Grandmaster. Grab
it!’–Donald Trump
