總裁Ed Catmull的Creativity Inc.著重介紹瞭皮剋斯的團隊管理理念,而前CFO的這本書講瞭皮剋斯的財政策略,帶你從不同角度瞭解這傢偉大的工作室。
評分前Pixar CFO 寫的書。內容包括與Steve Jobs 的閤作,公司上市的過程(如選投行,確定經營策略), 製定股權激勵,與Disney談判等等。文筆很好,製度背景的介紹居然還有點研究價值。但是Pixar 的CEO的自傳裏完全沒有提到這個人,所以這自傳的可信度不知道有多大。

評分雖然是business的書讀起來非常流暢甚至有點像小說。從最初的不賺錢的業務,到立足四大業務目標再到一步步上市、被迪士尼收購,作者從CFO的高度介紹分析Pixar非常獨特的商業成長曆史,提供瞭很多好萊塢與娛樂界的商業insight。 此外還有作者與喬布斯的閤作與交情,玩具總動員的一步步誕生,IPO路上高盛和摩根為瞭規避風險做齣的決定,還有很多作者個人對這個産業與公司的熱愛與最後為瞭尋找人生目標的更多思考。 作者從哈佛到律師到好萊塢商業上的成功再到最後的東方哲學與冥想的追求,真是非常之優秀的當代西方精英。
評分本書作者為前皮剋斯CFO, 從剛開始的皮剋斯窘迫度日,到締造齣一個動畫帝國,文筆流暢,精彩紛呈。皮剋斯的經曆為喬布斯以後開啓蘋果公司的娛樂産業(比如音樂)打下良好的基礎。作者和喬布斯是近鄰,朋友,經常相互走動,然而房子仍在,斯人已去。
LAWRENCE LEVY is a Silicon Valley lawyer and executive hired by Steve Jobs in 1994 as CFO and member of the Office of the President of Pixar Animation Studios. He was responsible for Pixar's business strategy and IPO and guided Pixar's transformation from a money-losing graphics company into a multibillion-dollar entertainment studio. He later joined Pixar's board of directors. He then left corporate life to study Eastern philosophy and meditation and their relevance to modern life. He now writes and teaches on this topic and cofounded Juniper Foundation to pursue this work. Originally from London, England, he earned degrees from Indiana University and Harvard Law School. He lives with his wife, Hillary, in Palo Alto, California.
The never-before-told story of Pixar's improbable success.
“Hi, Lawrence?” the caller asked. “This is Steve Jobs. I saw your picture in a magazine a few years ago and thought we’d work together someday.”
After Steve Jobs was unceremoniously dismissed from Apple, he turned his attention to a little-known graphics art company that he owned called Pixar.
One day, out of the blue, Jobs called Lawrence Levy, a Harvard-trained lawyer and Silicon Valley executive to whom he had never spoken before, in the hope of persuading Levy to help him get Pixar on the right track.
What Levy found in Pixar was a company on the verge of failure. To Pixar and Beyond is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Levy, working closely with Jobs and the Pixar team, produced and implemented a highly improbable roadmap that transformed the sleepy graphics art studio into one of Hollywood’s greatest success stories.
Set in the worlds of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, the book takes readers inside Pixar, Disney, law firms, and investment banks. It provides an up-close, first-hand account of Pixar’s stunning ascent, how it took risks, Levy’s enduring collaboration and friendship with Jobs, and how Levy came to see in Pixar deeper parallels that apply to all aspects of our lives.
和合伙人谈拆分业务的这天早上,摔碎了一个杯子。 好像是冥冥之中的启示,是时候开启另一段经历的契机了吧。 广告公司运营两年,并不太成功。自我反省过,其中有情绪化的成分掺杂,但基本主客观原因还是非常清晰的。 回过来看这本书,我觉得对任何创业者来说,确实提供了另一个...
評分 評分看一个企业是怎么绝地求生的,恐怕连创始人和管理层也猜不到发展的结局… 皮克斯是个谜,我从没看到过一家公司能汇聚那么多人才,他们付出了巨大努力,但它涉足的业务要么失败,要么潜力有限,根本不值得大费周章。它一直在原地踏步。 把这家公司弄上市简直就是天方夜谭,投资...
評分书中提到的皮克斯如何从一个快要倒闭的公司最终上司,制作的动画电影如何打破票房纪录并获得成功很精彩;作者讲述的与乔布斯的工作和生活中的故事也很真挚。但让我印象更深刻是作者的抉择:1、选择加入皮克斯。2、管理上决定把动画制作的权利真正交给专业的人,并保持动画制作...
評分What's part of you stays with you. Business, finance. The book has all the right elements: Steve Jobs, Pixar, and the author's "giving up corporate life for meditation and eastern philosophy". I immediately took interest. After reading his profile and befor...
