A list of recent books (partially via NDE) of possible interest to entrepreneurs and investors. To be upfront, the only ones on the list that I have read are the first two -- Schramm's and Fisher's, which are both excellent -- and so with the rest you're on your own:

The Six Pillars of Market Leaders
A lot has been said on the characteristics of effective organizations; organizations that have a strong presence, and their impact can be felt in the markets and communities they operate in; organizations that utilize all their current and potential resources to achieve their strategic goals.
20 Tips To Initiate & Inspire Innovation From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
The word innovation appears frequently in advertisements, positioning statements, branding, marketing, mission statements and is used by most businesses and organizations in some fashion or form. But the question is how many businesses and organizations really make innovation a top priority? And how many businesses and organizations are truly good at innovation? One recent AMA/HRI study found that although most organizations say that innovation is a top priority, few companies are actually good at it. So, with that in mind, Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach offers the following list of twenty (20) tips to inspire and initiate innovation for you and your business.

Organizational "Strange Actractors"
We have for the most part looked at organizations in a traditional linear view and constantly put people, teams, departments, divisions and organizations in general into boxes often connected with lines. This is fine when trying to show where individuals reside within the context of organizations; however, it is not how organizations work.
Double Marginalization and the Point of Ideal Price Viability
Referencing my last post (Double Marginalization and the Decentralized Supply Chain, August 9, 2007) double marginalization “DM” is defined as the “exercise of market power at successive vertical layers in a supply chain.” The problem that arises as a result of DM is tied to an impetus to mark up the product’s price above marginal cost. The sequence of mark-ups “leads to a higher retail price and lower combined profit for the supply chain.” In short, DM drives the paradoxical outcome of higher buy prices with lower sell profits.

A Personal 'Mission Statement' Spells Success!
One of the latest "techniques for success" is the personal mission statement. Motivational and management gurus say these can be as effective in our own lives as they are in organizations. The real question is, how well do they really work in organizations? So often, after all the committees have fiddled with these statements, they end up as vague, watered-down platitudes that are quickly forgotten. So does that spell success, for either organizations or for us personally?
Leaders Make the Difference
All organizations have access to more-or-less the same resources. They draw from the same pool of people in their markets or geographic areas. And they can all learn about the latest tools and techniques. Yet not all organizations perform equally. In fact, there is a huge gap between high-and low-performing organizations. What accounts for this? Quite simply, it's people. As the venerable Peter Drucker points out, "Of all the decisions a manager makes, none are as important as the decisions about people because they determine the performance capacity of the organization."

The ROI of Employee Engagement
Over the years there have been recent talks on how to keep employees engaged. The engagement challenge is especially pertinent in this economy, where organizations are feeling pressure to keep their talented employees. Consumers still expect the best from the organizations they patronize, and the only way to produce such results is with talented employees. An employee’s attitude about the organization shows in his / her productivity and quality of work. In order to keep such employees stimulated, organizations have to keep their employees engaged.
Social Media in the Workforce...Enhancement or Interruption?
Blogging, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter. These are various forms of social media that have infiltrated lives across the globe and have also entered many organizations’ workspaces. This technology is changing the way workers interact with each other. As great as a gift social media has been for some organizations, there is also criticism over its usage. In light of the pros and cons of social media, organizations worldwide have to decide whether social media will hinder or support their organizational cultures.
Fractional Leadership – Strategy for leading the 21st century organization
As the world begins to climb out of what some are now calling the Great Recession, organizations are beginning to learn how to deal with unemployment, underemployment, and a growing self-employment sector. Organizations have learned along the way to do more with less and many have found that there are benefits to a leaner operation. In many cases, organizations have seen sizable drops in revenue that have forced them to downsize and in some cases resort to outsourcing and contract labor in an effort to stay lean, flexible and competitive.

Advantages Of Useful Partner Relationship Management Solutions
Almost each business or organization relies on partnerships. And almost all organizations and organizations consequently have their very own strategy of keeping their "channels" in check. They typically formulate their own specialized course of action of partner relationship management.
