    The Last Days of the Giants? A Route Map for Big Business Survival "Somewhere out there is a bullet with your company's name on it. Somewhere out there is a competitor, unborn and unknown, that will render your business model obsolete. Bill Gates knows that. When he says that Microsoft is always two years away from failure, he's not just blowing smoke. The hottest and most dangerous new business models out there are on the Web". Gary Hamel, Fortune Magazine. 1998 If you can positively identify with any of the following statements:
    * Current mergers and acquisitions activity will continue unabated well into the 21st century
    * Flashy internet start-ups cannot threaten our core activities built up over years of careful planning, research, branding and marketing
    * Our sheer size will protect us from the unpredictability of the next few years
    * We will manage our customers; they will not manage us
    * The government will always have the best interests of big business at heart
    * A long-term focus is the key to success
    * We do not see the value of outsourcing
    * Just because we are big, it doesn't mean we cannot move quickly
    then you and your company may be in very serious trouble. Read Robert Baldock's survival guide for giants, before it's too late. "An intriguling perspective on the 'current future' of global business that few of today's giant corporations can afford to ignore".

    4 out of 5 stars On problems, challenges and opportunities of post-2000 era.......2000-08-19

    In this, his second book, Robert Baldock continues in his visionary vein to tackle the problems, challenges and opportunities that the year 2000 onwards will bring for old-style "giants' of the last century.

    The subject of this book are the problems facing big business, especially if they stand still instead of moving with, and even ahead of, the times. The greatest threats to the so-called `giants' can come from the most unexpected quarters. Suddenly a small, independent company from the other side of the world can, without warning, take large chunks of your market share. They can do this because they are quicker of thought, more flexible in attitude and more closely attuned to the real needs of their customers than you are.

    In this book, Robert Baldock looks at the ways in which you can change the nature of your business so that you can begin the 21st century on at least an equal footing with your hungry, determined competitors. This includes looking at the nature of what you offer to your customers, the relationship you have with your customers, and the level to which you should continue trying to do everything internally against the option of outsourcing.

    The author concludes by giving us a three-dimensional mental model to visualise when thinking about the kinds of things we should be doing.

    Robert Baldock (1955- ) was, until recently, a global managing partner in Anderson Consulting, the management and technology consultancy, responsible for eCommerce, Customer Relationship Management and Mergers and Acquisitions within the Financial Services Industry. He led a team within Andersen's global financial services practice in developing a set of scenarios for the future of the financial services industry as well as an initiative looking at the future shape of the consumer serving industries. He is the author of Destination Z.

    3 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but some more case studies needed.......2000-03-28

    Oh, for the good old days of huge corporations which told you what to buy and when and how much you would pay for it. All gone now, says Baldock: net-driven nimbleness is the key trait of success in the third millennium. If big companies are to survive at all, it will be only by acting like small ones.

    To anyone familiar with business literature, these points are not particularly new. Baldock, however, does a good job of knitting a number of issues into a whole, around the general theme of how the internet has changed the market, the consumer, and the very notion of selling goods and services. The net provides, first and foremost, information: the capacity to compare, communicate and choose. If consumers are not happy with what they are offered - if it is not tailored to their specific requirements - they can easily go elsewhere. The pivot of power has swung from the seller to the buyer.

    As a result, says Baldock, even the largest companies can suddenly lose major chunks of any given market to a firm with short production runs, flexible design, and instant access. For a large (traditional) firm to customise a particular product is a slow process, if possible at all. They are likely to still be re-tooling while their small competitors have moved onto the next generation.

    Specialisation is the key, says Baldock. Forget about vertical integration: it only reinforces the inertia. And becoming larger by merger or acquisition is more likely to be part of the problem than part of the solution. Trying to manage all aspects of the business cycle means doing nothing very well.

    Baldock looks at a number of examples where large companies have made the transition to the new world. Hiving off a unit as a separate e-commerce company seems to be a popular solution, although a few traditional firms have managed to graft new methods of selling onto the old organisation. Unfortunately, the book tends to deal with such cases in a fairly perfunctory way: more in-depth analysis of the reasons for success or failure would have been appreciated. The impact of personal e-trading of shares on the staid stockbroking industry, for example, is an area ripe for much more exploration than the book provides.

    Baldock presents a new model of company organisation, based around being buyer-centric rather than seller-centric, and of "virtualising" non-core activities. Fair enough, although one suspects that the concept of business models might be a bit contrary to the idea of un-organised organisations.

    One also suspects that the book might use a brush that is a bit too wide. Many of the companies Baldock looks at the involve personal goods or services: selling insurance or airline tickets, for example. But are all large companies so vulnerable to smaller competitors? It is hard to see, for example, how the internet will affect industries like mining or shipbuilding. Some business activities are intrinsically geared to the big and the long-term: not everything can be effectively scaled down. Nevertheless, `The Last Days of the Giants?' has a range of interesting things to say. Business is changing, without doubt: the last days of one breed are the first of another.

          Book Description

          Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

          5 out of 5 stars Has history been tampered with?.......2007-10-23

          Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RAZQNMXM4M9CL Has history been tampered with? Yes, it has! Did events and eras such as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Roman Empire , the Dark Ages, and the Renaissance, actually occur within a very different chronology from what we've been told? Yes, they certainly did!

          The history of humankind is both drastically shorter and dramatically different than generally presumed.

          Why is it so? On one hand, it was usual custom to justify the claims to title and land by age and ancestry, and on the other the court historians knew only too well how to please their masters. The so called universal classic world history is a pack of intricate lies for all events prior to the 16th century. World history as we learn it today was entirely fabricated in the 16th-18th centuries. It's likely that nobody told you before, but

          there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artefact that is reliably and independently dated prior to the 11th century.

          Naturally, after what you've learned in school and university, you will not easily believe that the classical history of ancient Rome, Greece, Asia, Egypt, China, Japan, India, etc., is manifestly false.

          You will point accusing finger to the pyramids in Egypt, to the Coliseum in Rome and Great Wall of China etc., and claim, aren't they really ancient, thousands of years ancient? Well, there is no valid scientific proof that they are older than 1000 years!

          The oldest original written document that can be reliably dated belongs to the 11th century!

          New research asserts that Homo sapiens invented writing (including hieroglyphics) only 1000 years ago. Once invented, writing skills were immediately and irreversibly put to the use of ruling powers and science.

          The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the 16th century by the Jesuits.

          The world history was compiled from contradictory mix of innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts and other irrefutable proofs delivered by late mediaeval astronomers that were cemented by the authority of writings of the Church Fathers.

          Early in life, we learn about ancient history. Children love the magical lessons of history - they are like fairy tales. Teachers recite breathtaking stories; very soon We learn by heart the names and deeds of brave warriors, wise philosophers, fabulous pharaohs, cunning high priests and greedy scribes.

          We learn of gigantic pyramids and sinister castles, kings and queens, dukes and barons, powerful heroes and beautiful ladies, emaciated saints and low-life traitors.

          Ancient history is based documents, manuscripts, printed books, paintings, monuments and artefacts - called primary sources.

          The problem is that neither these ancient documents, nor events described therein can be irrefutably dated, moreover they contradict each other for the most part.

          When a school textbook tells us that Genghis Khan in year X or Alexander in year Y, have each conquered half of the world, it means only that it is so said in some of the written sources.

          There are no answers to simple questions:

          When were these primary sources written?

          Where and by whom were these sources found?

          It is wrongly presumed that ancient and medieval chronicles, written by Genghis Khan's or Alexander the Great contemporaries and eyewitnesses, are readily available. Actually, only sources written hundreds or even thousands of years after the events are there, compiled mostly in the 16th 18th centuries, or even later.

          As a rule, these sources suffered considerable multiple manipulations, falsifications and distortions by editing. At the same time,

          innumerable originals of ancient documents under various pretexts were destroyed in Europe under various pretexts.

          The names of persons and geographical sites often changed meaning and location during the course of the centuries.

          Geographical locations became clearly defined on maps only with the advent of printing.

          This made possible the circulation of identical copies of the same map for purposes of the military, navigation, education and governance tasks.

          Historians from Oxford say: "hey, everybody knows that Julius Caesar lived in the first century B.C.

          `Julius Caesar' statement is only a point of view as

          there is simply no irrefutable documentary proof that Julius Caesar or any other great name of antiquity ever existed.

          Better than that - extremely rare sources that can be reliably dated back to the 10th-14th centuries A D, do not show the polished picture of classical history.

          They show a picture both contradictory and confusing.

          All methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts are erroneous:

          Radio-carbon C14 method produces dating with exactitude of plus minus 1500 years, therefore it is too crude for dating of events in historical timeframe!

          The Almagest tractate, which lies as corner stone contemporary chronology, compiled in the 2nd century A D by Ptolemy, the founding father of astronomy, contains astronomical data of 9th to 16th century!

          The Bronze Age,that has supposedly began 5000 years ago. Bronze is made of 90% copper and 10% tin, but the technology for tin extraction dates back to 14th century A D!.

          All eclipses contained in manuscripts, like Thucydides one, relating 'ancient' events have exclusively medieval dating. All horoscopes cut in stone or painted in Egyptian temples, like Dendera have exclusively early medieval dating solutions.

          Not quite what you have learned in school? Open your eyes, and, you will find sufficient proof to reach step by step the inevitable conclusion that the classical chronology is false and therefore, that the history of ancient and medieval world universally accepted today, is also false. Have a fresh outlook on everything said or printed about "ancient" and "enigmatic" Roman, Greek and Egyptian, medieval as well as all other "lost and found" civilizations.

          Antiquity and Dark Ages are phantoms invented in the 16th 18th and polished in 19th 20thcenturies. Human civilization is in fact barely 1000 years old!

          This book will change your perception of History forever!
          What if Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were invented during Renaissance?
          What if The Old Testament was a rendition of events of the Middle Ages?
          What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?
          Sounds Unbelievable?

          3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

          Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

          5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

          Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

          5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

          There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

          For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

          3 out of 5 stars Raises cultural awareness about Canada and Mexico.......1998-02-20

          This is a good book for anyone not familiar with the cultural differences, preconceptions and bias with the Mexican culture. Most text is devoted to history and the racial bias plus historical basis between the U.S. and Mexico. Canada is poorly covered. The reader will gain and understanding of historically justified suspicion of Americans and how Latin culture is structured from a business perspective. This book could be best described as a very short course in sensitivity training with just enough business horror stories to keep you interested. Those experienced in offshore trading will not need this book. Beginners will benifit and it is worth the price for them.

            Book Description

            In the nineteenth century Adam Smith and others gradually invented a 'tradition' of free trade. This was a towering achievement and has proved to be influential to this day. This book examines this construction of the free trade tradition.

            Showing how historical contruction is a vital component in the writing of doctrinal history, Lars Magnusson argues that it is important for historians of economic thought to distance themselves from the practice of writing history backwards. Contrasting what occurred in Britain in the nineteenth century with what occurred in the United States and in Sweden, this book shows that perhaps the classical tradition meant something else entirely in different national contexts.

            This original and thought-provoking book is written such that it will be of great interest not only to historians specializing in economic thought, but also historians with other areas of interest.
