About:

In 1983 along with 12 other managers, Jack Stack scraped together $100,000 in cash, borrowed $8.9 million and transformed a failing division of International Harvester into one of the most successful and competitive companies in America. Under Mr. Stack’s leadership and Open-Book Management approach (later coined The Great Game of Business), this formerly failing company has now become SRC Holdings Corporation, a thriving company of 1,000 engaged employees in 17 business units across a variety of industries producing $300 million in annual sales. A company that has increased its stock price from 10 cents per share in 1983 to over $199 in 2009. As a result, The Great Game of Business has become the most celebrated approach to Open-Book Management, a unique, well-proven and time-tested approach to running a company, based on a simple, yet powerful belief: “When employees think, act and feel like owners… everybody wins.” The Great Game of Business has been translated into 8 languages, and cited in over 100 best-selling business books.

Testimonial:

"At a time when doubt shrouds the U.S. economy, Jack Stack's book is a beacon of hope. It is a little bit about technique and a lot about unleashing the good sense of the American worker." - Tom Peters

    Sorry Luis, there is no online version, but if you have an e-reader like an iPad or Kindle, you can download it from Amazon!

    Do you have plans for any audio versions of this book or any of the others offered?

    Absolutely! All I ask is that you let me learn a little about your business and how you heard about GGOB!

    Thanks Amanda.

    I want to learn about GGOB. What do you think the action plan should be?
