Everyday Innovation

Giants like Whole Foods and Amazon succeed by treating innovation as an everyday occurrence—not a "special occasion" event. Charles Fishman has delved deeply into these companies—some of the most successful of the last decade—and, in this new talk, he delivers practical insights into how you can, and why you must, infuse every aspect of your daily work with innovation and creativity. For these companies, as it should be for yours, innovation is not a single masterstroke—it is something that is produced, systematically, incrementally, and daily, from employees, customers, even competitors.

The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--and HowIt's Transforming the  American Economy - Book by Charles Fishman

The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--and HowIt's Transforming the American Economy” (2006)

Wal-Mart isn’t just the world’s biggest company, it is probably the world’s most written-about. But no book until this one has managed to penetrate its wall of silence or go beyond the usual polemics to analyze its actual effects on its customers, workers, and suppliers. Drawing on unprecedented interviews with former Wal-Mart executives and a wealth of staggering data (e.g., Americans spend $36 million an hour at Wal-Mart stores, and in 2004 its growth alone was bigger than the total revenue of 469 of the Fortune 500), The Wal-Mart Effect is an intimate look at a business that is dramatically reshaping our lives.
