Why Do Businesses Die? 10 Stages of Company Development According to Adizes
Why is a business stalling, and the entrepreneur can't figure out what's wrong?
This video is a brief and clear analysis of Ichak Adizes' book, "Managing the Corporate Lifecycle." In it, you'll learn how the corporate lifecycle works, the stages virtually every business goes through, and what to do at each stage of development to avoid getting bogged down in bureaucracy or ruining everything during the growth phase.
We'll cover:
All 10 stages of the organizational lifecycle—from idea to death;
The management mistakes that most often ruin companies;
What kind of management does a business need at different stages;
Why strategy without entrepreneurship doesn't work;
And how to overcome a crisis if you're stuck at one level.
This video will be useful for anyone building or scaling their business: whether you're just starting out or managing a mature structure. We'll discuss business development, entrepreneurship, management theory, growth mistakes, and periods of crisis. All of this is presented with real-world examples and in understandable language.
