“...to give a bullet-point summation of takeaways is to deny the real value of this lovely book.”--Harvard Business Review
Product Description
Why trying to be the best … competing like crazy … makes you mediocre
Every few years a book—through a combination of the author’s unique voice, storytelling ability, wit, and insight—simply breaks the mold. Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods is one example. Richard Feynman’s “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” is another.
Now comes Youngme Moon’s Different, a book for “people who don’t read business books.” Actually, it’s more like a personal conversation with a friend who has thought deeply about how the world works … and who gets you to see that world in a completely new light.
If there is one strain of conventional wisdom pervading every company in every industry, it’s the absolute importance of “competing like crazy.” Youngme Moon’s message is simply “Get off this treadmill that’s taking you nowhere. Going tit for tat and adding features, augmentations, and gimmicks to beat the competition has the perverse result of making you like everyone else.” Different provides a highly original perspective on what it means to offer something that is meaningfully different—different in a manner that is both fundamental and comprehensive.
Youngme Moon identifies the outliers, the mavericks, the iconoclasts—the players who have thoughtfully rejected orthodoxy in favor of an approach that is more adventurous. Some are even “hostile,” almost daring you to buy what they are selling. The MINI Cooper was launched with fearless abandon: “Worried that this car is too small? Look here. It’s even smaller than you think.”
These are players that strike a genuine chord with even the most jaded consumers. In fact, almost every success story of the past two decades has been an exception to the rule. Simply go to your computer and compare AOL and Yahoo! with Google. The former pile on feature upon feature to their home pages, while Google is like an austere boutique, dominating a category filled with “extras.”
刚开始在读本书的时候,是出于对中信喜欢把一本普通的读物炒成包装成《圣经》,和“读完本书就可以长生不老或者日进斗金”的强烈标签,读完序言,果然印证了自己的想法,中信,你吃SHI去吧。 继续读着之后,渐渐觉得本书的确是一本非常实在的书。读到关于马麦酱的案例,更觉得...
评分这本书属于醍醐灌顶类型的,搞营销的都可以读一读。 1. 关于竞争。 在商业领域,企业对抗趋同化的主要途径是差异化。竞争越激烈,企业对差异化的诉求越强烈。而结果恰恰相反,企业越努力参与竞争,与其他企业的差异越小,至少在消费者看来是这样。 管理者在确立和强化差异时...
评分这本书在两天内读完。 亚马逊页面上评价差距很大,有人评五星,有人评一星。还留下“洛里啰嗦一个意思反复说不值这个钱”之类的抱怨。 恰巧手边有一本朋友的书。刚翻到第一章前10页,就立马在亚马逊上下了单。这么好的宝贝对于某些人却是垃圾,果然佛见佛,魔见魔。 在这本...
非常喜欢书里的概念,因为我自己本身非常不喜欢“因循守旧”。另外说一句,中译本可以说是故意背离了(everything against)原作者的写作意图,做翻译做到这个地步真是太了不起了...
