Steve Case, co-founder of America Online (AOL) and one of America's most accomplished entrepreneurs, shares a roadmap for how anyone can succeed in a world of rapidly changing technology. We are entering, he explains, a new paradigm called the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leverage the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we're entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major "real world" sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, and food-and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.

"Steve Case, cofounder of America Online and Revolution and New York Times bestselling author of The Third Wave, shows how entrepreneurs across the country are building groundbreaking companies, renewing communities, and creating new jobs--in the process reimagining the American landscape and bringing people together around a shared future"--Amazon.com.

What can Baked Alaska teach us about leading people? And how can pizza help to build a business? After a successful thirty-year career selling some of the world's best-known brands into the tough, and sometimes uncompromising, UK market, author Steve Smith skillfully distils simple lessons learnt around everyday products and scenarios we take for granted. Steve graduated in Business Studies at the University of Sheffield and joined the sales department at Procter & Gamble during the early 1990s. In this book, he provides a unique, refreshingly candid assessment of this journey from Procter & Gamble to Kellogg's and onto a sales director role with AG Barr, selling Scotland's 'other' national drink, IRN-BRU. Steve's down-to-earth narrative combines established and familiar management theory with contemporary leadership thinking and a few ideas of his own. As he analyses business scenarios and shares fascinating stories and insight on household products witnessed first-hand, you'll find yourself scratching your head in disbelief, or laughing out loud. This makes The Power of Baked Alaska a business book that's direct, honest, irreverent and packed to the brim with 'snap, crackle and pop."
