Ninja Innovation Audiobook Summary
Innovate or die
For thirty years, Gary Shapiro has observed the world’s most innovative businesses from his front-row seat as leader of the Consumer Electronics Association. Now he reveals the ten secrets of “ninja innovators” like Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and many others.
What does it take to succeed? Discipline. Mission-oriented strategy. Adaptability. Decisiveness. And a will for victory. In short, today’s most successful businesses are “ninja innovators.” Drawn from Gary Shapiro’s three decades of experience leading the consumer electronics industry, Ninja Innovation takes readers behind the scenes of today’s top enterprises, uncovering their ten essential strategies for success.
As head of the Consumer Electronics Association and its influential annual trade show, the International CES, Shapiro has worked with the most innovative companies in history–Intel, IBM, and Samsung, to name a few–focusing on creating policies and events that produce revolutionary products year after year. He has learned the key strategies that have guided these businesses to record-breaking profits, as well as the traps that have led so many others to crushing failure.
In order to stay in front of the pace of innovation, Shapiro observes, top companies must operate as an elite strike force–just like the legendary medieval warriors known as ninjas. Ninjas weren’t called upon to do the ordinary; they had to perform truly extraordinary tasks, while risking everything. As a highly trained martial-arts black belt himself, Shapiro mines the valuable insights of these centuries-old warriors to spotlight the secrets of agility, creativity, decisiveness, and reinvention that are essential for twenty-first-century leaders seeking breakthrough success.
Taking readers inside the most cutting-edge businesses, Ninja Innovation is the ultimate guide to achieving victory in today’s innovate-or-die economy.

I'm not in business, or marketing in any formal capacity, and thought this book would be interesting and irrelevant at best. Yes, it was gimmick-y. But it was also well written, if only in that it was easy to read and interesting...and, surprise, it was also relevant! As a particularly non-savvy reader, it made me think of things I could share with others in life in a more effective manner (shidduchim - Jewish sort-of-blind-dates-for-marriage being a really obvious example) as well as giving me an appreciation for all sorts of goings-on around me. For example, today I stopped at one of those "Everything is 5NIS" coffee/pastry places thinking I'd get myself a slushy iced-coffee. Suddenly I realized that while one chain is basically everywhere and therefore people will go there out of convenience, the other chain is suddenly competing and trying to drum up more business with a more diverse menu. It's enjoyable to have a glimpse into the inner workings of these behind-the-scene mechanisms. I was sure this was a book to pass along, but after reading it, I can't help but think that it will somehow be handy in the future. I should have been taking notes.

I don’t know what the low star reviewers expected but I found this book to be exceptional. From the first hand accounts, to this historical connections to the ninja, and my most favorite of all was the incredibly deep vocabulary well from which Mr Shapiro pulls in order to construct a phrase. 2 thumbs way up. Will be picking up the rest of his work ASAP.

A good book on how to approach most business aspects, not just business but for life as well. Good and relevant stories about innovation and what it takes to be a modern day business ninja. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve themselves.
