Under his leadership, Koch Industries has become a dynamic and diverse enterprise that Forbes called "the world's largest private company." This groundbreaking audiobook includes the same material used by leaders and employees of Koch companies to apply Marker-Based Management (MBM) to get results. In it, Charles Koch outlines the unique management methodology developed and implemented by Koch Industries. Koch credits MBM for its 2,000-fold growth since 1967, with today having 80,000 employees in 60 countries and with $90 billion in revenues in 2006. MBM is a scientific approach to management that integrates theory and practice, and provides a framework for dealing with the ongoing challenges of growth and change. There really is a science behind success, and it can be applied to any organization. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Haven't read the book.....I've not yet read this book. BUT, working for Georgia Pacific before and after Koch bought and left his mark,,,,These principles DON'T work here. Sorry, wish I could say better. I've waited and waited. I've done what I could in my limited capacity to "Live the process". I don't have decision rights. Can't get anything fixed, and everything is run till fail. Fail it does. Often and repeatedly. I guess Charles is just waiting for us to fall on our face and can't get up, then he'll shut it down, tear ...

Google it, just google "Koch and Indian lands" The principle of wealth through theft is ancient. That's why "thou shall not steal" is one of the 10 commandments. Rating:  - Sparse EleganceThis is not a self-help book. It is an excellent slim introduction to free market economics and economic thinking masquerading as a business book. While I picked up the "Science of Success" to see how he applied economic thinking to running a business, I was blown away the authors clarity and elegance in describing economic thinking. I also found his business system - MBM (Market Based Management) The Science of Human Action Applied to Organizations - to be interesting. ... Read More Rating:  - Don't Buy This If You Are Going To Work For KochI only say that because you'll receive a free copy once you sign on with the company. I bought the book after I accepted a job there and lo and behold I had two copies of The Science of Success. As far as the book goes, it was pretty good, the only thing that it was really weak on were examples of how Koch Industries actually used MBM to make money. After having worked there I really can't tell you how they have used MBM to make money either because during the two day MBM training you only hear one ... Read More Rating: - A Practical Business Classic and a Must-ReadThe Science of Success is going to be a business classic. If you're in business, especially if you want to make your business work better you need to read this book. Check that. You need to read and re-read and re-read this book. And you need to try out what you learn in experiments in your workplace. That was one of the first things I got from this book, the idea of seeing trials of new ideas as "experiments." It's a powerful concept because it immediately washes away all the "risk of ... Read More
