Chaotics
As the fallout from the financial meltdown of 2008 grows progressively worse, companies, industries, and entire markets cling precariously to life or have ceased to exist altogether. And the turbulence may not be over any time soon. In Chaotics, noted business strategists Philip Kotler and John Caslione present the intriguing, if unsettling, argument that these troubled times are not an aberration, but the new face of normal. In fact, the economic downturn is part of a continually oscillating Age of Turbulence, where both risk and opportunity are quickly felt around the world, now inexorably linked by globalism and technology. It’s a world that chews up the unprepared, but rewards the prepared—those robust companies that have the ability to quickly anticipate and effectively respond to potential threats. Packed with illuminating examples of resilient companies that are successfully navigating turbulence, as well as many painful examples of bankrupt or soon-to-be defunct companies unprepared for the chaos that felled them, Chaotics provides deep insights and practical strategies for not only surviving the current economic downturn, but also thriving amid the many slumps and spurts of prosperity that lie ahead. At the heart of this book is an innovative Chaotics Management System for minimizing vulnerability and exploiting opportunities—and putting yourself way ahead of your competitors, most of whom are clinging to the same old panic tactics of across-the-board staff cuts, deep price discounts, and slashed investments in marketing, branding, and new product development. The system outlined here helps you completely rethink how you manage and market during recession and other turbulent conditions, including how to: Develop early warning systems for identifying the first signs of upheaval, including disruptive innovations and shocks Construct detailed worst-case, best-case, and most-expected-case scenarios using the strategies for effectively dealing with each Cut costs or enhance efficiency strategically in specific departments: finance, information technology, manufacturing, purchasing, and human resources Secure your market share from core customer segments—without decimating customer research and marketing budgets Compress strategic planning into shorter, three-month time cycles to keep a closer read on the pulse of the company Prevent the potentially catastrophic consequences of abandoning core principles Timely, practical, and compelling, Chaotics is an indispensable guide for business leaders striving to survive today’s economic storms and to prosper through the inevitable turbulence of tomorrow.

The Pocket Chaotic
Alexander's mom keeps putting stuff in her pocket and it's driving him crazy! A young kangaroo called Alexander lives in his mom, Nancy's pocket. Alexander loves his mom, but there's one thing she does that really drives him nuts. She is always putting stuff in her pocket. Alexander tries to keep things neat, but the more he tidies, the more stuff she shoves in there. When he complains, his sister calls him a baby - it's time to leave the pouch anyway. But Alexander loves it in there - it's warm and cosy and smells of mom. Then one day, it gets really bad. Twelve bobby pins, a tube of toothpaste, a bottle of water, a packet of chewing gum, two bus tickets, some keys, a toy car and a cookbook all find their way into Nancy's pouch. And that's just for starters. Finally, Alexander's had enough. 'I can't take it any more!' he shouts. 'I'm moving out!' So Alexander moves into the room next to his sister's. They make it all cosy, with a furry blanket and shelves for all his stuff. So it's just like his mom's pouch. Almost. The penultimate spread is Alexander sleeping with all his stuff strewn around him. The final spread is Nancy clearing out her pocket with a wink. It was time for Alexander to go. This is a heartwarming tale about the connection between a son and mother and a journey towards independence.
