Two years on and the global business bestseller that introduced the idea of granularity to management is back. Now in paperback, the core lessons in Granularity: Smart choices to grow your business in good times and bad, based on research and client carried out by the world s leading consultancy McKinsey & Company, have become all the more critical in the wake of a once-in-a-generation downturn that has rocked global markets. Among the dislocation and ruin, exist powerful pockets and sources of growth. The real science is in identifying and exploiting these opportunities valued in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. Granularity shows you how. As markets and global trends are recast by the crisis, capitalizing upon them requires a more dynamic, granular approach to management. Granular management rewards leaders skilled in viewing and deploying resources in ways that turn micro insights into big payoffs. In fact, companies adept at doing so before the current crisis are, not surprisingly, the ones faring best as others falter. Before, during and after crisis, getting granular continues to provide the edge to those ready to harness its power.

David Smick keeps a low profile, but experts consider him one of the most insightful financial market strategists in the world. For more than two decades, he has conferred with central bankers and advised top Wall Street executives and investors. The World Is Curved picks up where Thomas Friedman€™s The World Is Flat left off, taking listeners on an insider€™s tour through the private offices of central bankers, finance ministers, even prime ministers. Smick reveals how today€™s risky environment came to be€”and why the mortgage mess is a symptom of potentially far more devastating trouble. He wrestles with the two questions on everyone€™s mind: How bad could things really get in today€™s volatile economy? And what can we do about it? The World Is Curved is the rare work that speaks simultaneously to the Wall Street, Washington, and London elite, yet its apt storytelling shows Main Street readers how to survive in these turbulent times. €œThe World Is Curved
