Même si la météo le dément, le printemps est là. Stéphanie et moi en avons profité pour faire un rangement par le vide de notre bureau et nous nous sommes débarrassé de pas mal de livres business accumulés ces dernières années. Nous avons essayé de garder une liste positive des lectures que nous pourrions vous recommander et nous vous la partageons ci-dessous.

Si vous vous attendez à pouvoir trouver LE livre qui résume notre démarche, vous ne le trouverez pas. Inutile aussi de vous enfermer chez vous quelques mois pour tout lire, je ne pense pas que ces pages renferment quelque secret indispensable. Mais sur tel ou tel point spécifique, il est certain que des outils et des notions clefs pourront vous être fort utiles.

Voici donc nos bibliothèques virtuelles, celle de Stéphanie :

Stéphanie

Authentic Happiness by Martin E. P. Seligman
Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk
Learned Optimism by Martin E. P. Seligman

Et la mienne :

The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen
Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey A. Moore
Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter F. Drucker

Toutes suggestions de lectures complémentaires seront les bienvenues.

How to protect your phone at the US border is now an ongoing trope of many tech blogs, travel websites, and consumer magazines. Beyond the quite obvious geopolitical implications, we see in real-time a core transformation of how the US deals with online and social media privacy (or lack thereof)

China's guerrilla warfare on tariffs starts with luxury goods

If you've been on any social media recently, you've probably been hit by one of these videos initially pushed through TikTok. The script is always the same: a Chinese manufacturer demonstrating how they carefully craft high-end luxury bags with imported leather, high skills, and very aggressive

How many times can you say 'mistake' to your board?

A powerful statement from Warren Buffett, writing Berkshire Hathaway's annual letter last February: Sometimes I’ve made mistakes in assessing the future economics of a business I’ve purchased for Berkshire — each a case of capital allocation gone wrong. That happens with both judgments about marketable equities — we
