 Wanna Read Just One Book On The Topic? This Is It,August 9, 2009
"The Age Curve" is a very shrewd book, written in a funny, unassuming style that has the semi-miraculous effect of making demographics interesting to a broad audience. It is a great read for any curious generalist--and it should be required reading in the boardroom for every company merchandising consumer products large or small, especially in these difficult times. (Memo to GM and Chrysler: if you guys understood Gronbach's message, you might not be bankrupt right now..) |
