Monopoly[trademark] is more than just a game. It's a game plan. As the world's most popular board game, Monopoly[trademark] gave most of us our first glimpse into the world of business. It introduced us to ruthless competition, high-stakes wheeling-and-dealing, the sweet smell of success, and the bitter taste of failure. Besides being a pleasure to play, Monopoly[trademark] is in many ways a microcosm of the real business world; the strategies that lead to victory in the board game are the same ones used in the boardroom. The reality is that many entrepreneurs had their first property and finance experience while playing the world's most popular board game. In "Everything I Know about Business I Learned from Monopoly[trademark]", top executives from major international corporations reveal the lessons they learned from rolling the die in the fantasy game of self-made wealth and power. Written by Alan Axelrod, author of the bestsellers Elizabeth I, CEO and Patton on Leadership, this unlikely source of practical information provides a refreshing insight into the way we play the game of business. With detailed explanation of winning Monopoly[trademark] strategies and interviews with CEOs like Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon.com, Michael Dell of Dell Computers, Millard Drexler of the GAP, Carly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard, and more, Axelrod provides a clear blueprint for anyone interested in acquiring crucial business knowledge through a fun and familiar format. Practical, informative, entertaining, and inspiring, "Everything I Know about Business I Learned from Monopoly[trademark]" is more than just a book. It's a manual for success.
