My Best Books List for 2011-2012

Submitted by TerriGriffith on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 17:33

Each year the Leavey School of Business (Santa Clara University) publishes a list of books the faculty have read and would like to recommend. I'll add a link to the list when it's available. I'm sharing my response with you here, in case you missed my earlier reviews, and for those great books I've yet to formally review.

My favorites:

The Ad-Free Brand: Secrets to Building Successful Brands in a Digital World (Que Biz-Tech) (Review) 

Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears (Review)

The Age of the Platform: How Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google Have Redefined Business (Review) 

Getting Results From Crowds: The definitive guide to using crowdsourcing to grow your business

The Plugged-In Manager: Get in Tune with Your People, Technology, and Organization to Thrive (Reviews) 

Race Against the Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy (Review)

Confessions of a Public Speaker (Review)

Looking forward to reading (in press or on my shelf):
