Description
What separates companies that consistently make money from those that merely look busy? In The Moneymakers, equity analyst and professional investor Anne-Marie Fink distills more than a decade of experience — with literally billions of dollars riding on her assessments — into a pragmatic, myth-busting framework for winning in a hypercompetitive world.
Drawing on unusual access to businesses from entertainment conglomerates and newspapers to internet companies, airlines, railroads, and furniture manufacturers, Fink drills down to what truly makes a business tick — dissecting chief executives’ stories and speaking with customers, suppliers, regulators, bankers, and rivals to separate durable moneymakers from rotten tomatoes.
The result is genuinely original: why expanding a bad, low-return business only multiplies the problem (“shrink to grow”), how maximum efficiency stifles innovation, when to ignore your customers, why economics always trumps management. Sharp, entertaining, and written for when real money is on the line.
