Abstract

How do we think without thinking, seem to make choices in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem? Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, the author reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Abstract

Comment New York, capitale du crime, est-elle devenue une ville sécuritaire en quelques mois au milieu des années Iggo ? Continent une marque de chaussures has been a-t-elle reconquis le marché mondial de la mode à partir de quelques clubs branchés de Manhattan ? Comment expliquer les "épidémies" de suicides en Micronésie ?... Le point de bascule est l'histoire d'une idée toute simple: la meilleure façon de comprendre l'émergence des modes, la baisse de la criminalité, la naissance des best-sellers, l'augmentatiou du tabagisme chez les adolescents, le phénomène du bouche à oreille, ou tout autre changement a priori mystérieux, consiste à les concevoir comme des épidémies. Et rien ne résiste à l'analyse de Malcolm Cladwell : mode, marketing, idéologie religieuse, société de haute technologie. pas même la Révolution américaine! Retraçant la genèse de quelques succès retentissants, il montre que des changements mineurs, mintuieuseineul planifiés, peuvent provoquer de véritables épidémies sociales. Dans tous les cas, un oiseau rare, un principe d'adhérence qui rende un tressage "contagieux", et un contexte tavorable suffisent à déclencher l'épidémie. Quel que soit le domaine: continent provoquer un effet boule de neige.

Abstract

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

Abstract

From the bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia: discover Malcolm Gladwell's breakthrough debut and explore the science behind viral trends in business, marketing, and human behavior. The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Abstract

Why did crime in New York drop so suddenly in the mid-nineties? How does an unknown novelist end up a bestselling author? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? Why did Paul Revere succeed with his famous warning? In this brilliant and groundbreaking audiobook, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Ideas, behavior, messages, and products, he argues, often spread like outbreaks of infectious disease. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare-beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point. Gladwell introduces us to the particular personality types who are natural pollinators of new ideas and trends, the people who create the phenomenon of word of mouth. He analyzes fashion trends, children's television, and the early days of the American Revolution for clues about making ideas infectious, and visits market mavens and great salesmen to show how to start and sustain social epidemics. The Tipping Point is an intellectual adventure story and a road map to change, with a profoundly hopeful messagethat one imaginative person applying a well-placed lever can move the world.

Abstract

In Praten met vreemden laat Malcolm Gladwell zien dat het wel vaker misgaat als we geconfronteerd worden met onbekenden. Dat doet hij aan de hand van een enorme hoeveelheid fascinerende verhalen: van de Cubaanse spion die jarenlang ongestoord in het Pentagon kon blijven werken tot de onterechte veroordeling van Amanda Knox, en de sympathie die de Britse premier Chamberlain opvatte voor Hitler. Steeds weer blijkt dat we totaal niet zijn toegerust om vreemden open en onbevooroordeeld tegemoet te treden. We schatten ze verkeerd in, herkennen leugens vaker niet dan wel, interpreteren gezichtsuitdrukkingen niet goed en blijven hangen in onze eerste indruk. Praten met vreemden is een klassieke Gladwell: een intellectueel avontuur waarin de auteur ons meeneemt op een reis langs verwarrende ontmoetingen, ingewikkelde puzzels en fatale misverstanden. Gladwell analyseert waar het misgaat en leert ons zo steeds iets meer over de ander ? maar vooral ook over onszelf. Bron : http://www.businesscontact.nl
