Business In A Backpack: How To Build And Run A Profitable Business While You Travel The World
by Adam Costa Darcie Connell'The past six weeks have been incredible: we've eaten frogs, drunk beer on the street with locals in Vietnam, ridden a motorcycle through rice fields, explored the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, and scuba dived the crystal clear waters off several tropical islands. The next six months will be just as interesting and just as much fun.' As incredible as this trip has been for Adam and Darcie, the most incredible part is that they haven't spent a penny on it. In fact, they have actually been making money. This will continue for the rest of their travels, for as long as they want. Adam and Darcie have written this book with the explicit intention of changing your life so that - when you've learnt their strategies -you, too, can start living the life you've always wanted. Adam and Darcie's websites - which they refer to as streamsA" throughout the book - are the reason they are able to live the way they do. They bring in more passive income each month than they spend, which results in copious amounts of free time and a never-ending stream of income to travel with. In this book you will discover: - how to set up your business so that it almost runs on auto pilot. - how you should plan your travels around the world. The book is divided into four parts: 1. Inspiration - a listing and photos of some of the most intriguing destinations around the world, along with photographs to get your imagination running. 2. Education - how to build an online business, from creating a product to accepting payments. 3. Perspiration - step-by-step accounts of three very different online business models to finance your dreams. 4. Embarkation - covers the nuts and bolts of long-term travel abroad.Contents: Arrival: The business in a backpack lifestyle; 1. Inspiration - Free yourself; 2. Education - How to make money anywhere, anytime; 3. Perspiration - Roadmap to success and adventure; 4. Embarkation -You've earned it; Tying it all together; Departure; Glossary; Recommended reading; About the authors; Index.

Business Innovation Management: Geschäftsmodellinnovationen und multidimensionale Innovationen im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb
by Roland EckertDieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Gesch#65533;ftsmodell- und Innovationswettbewerb im digitalen Wettbewerb. Der zuk#65533;nftige wirtschaftliche Erfolg wird von der F#65533;higkeit zu Gesch#65533;ftsmodellinnovationen und multidimensionalen Innovationen (z. B. Lean Startup) sowie dem Aufbau einer Business Innovation Factory abh#65533;ngen. Im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb wird dieser neue Wettbewerb um Chancenanteile immer wichtiger. Ein Unternehmen, welches im Chancenanteilswettbewerb versagt, wird aber auch im klassischen Marktanteilswettbewerb nicht erfolgreich sein. Der zuk#65533;nftige Erfolg im digitalen Wettbewerb erfordert eine grundlegende Ver#65533;nderung der Perspektive des Top-Managements: vom operativen Gesch#65533;ftsmodell zum Business Model Prototype, von eindimensionalen Innovationen (Produkt-, Prozess- und operative Gesch#65533;ftsmodellinnovationen) zu multidimensionalen Innovationen (strategische und integrierte Gesch#65533;ftsmodellinnovationen). Gleichzeitig muss der bekannte strategische Managementprozess mit einem neuen strategischen Business Innovation Managementprozess verbunden werden.
