Good Profit

Więcej o książce

In 1967, Charles Koch took over his father's company and transformed it from a $21 million enterprise into a global powerhouse with revenues of about $115 billion. His success can be attributed to a unique management system known as Market-Based Management, which he developed over five decades through interdisciplinary studies and practical application across Koch Industries and its 100,000 employees. The core aim of this framework is straightforward: to generate "good profit." Good profit emerges when a company creates value for customers, enhancing their lives through innovations that customers willingly support with their purchases. This profit reflects business decisions that foster long-term value for all stakeholders—customers, employees, shareholders, and society. Although Koch Industries may not be a household name, its innovations, such as stain-resistant carpets and absorbent diapers, stem from the principles of Market-Based Management. Through candid stories from his extensive career, Koch guides readers—stockholders, entrepreneurs, leaders, students, and employees—on how to implement these principles to achieve Good Profit in their own organizations and lives.
