Professor Stéphane Garelli has released a new book called “Are You a Tiger, a Cat or a Dinosaur?” which tackles competitiveness and its influence on life.
In his book, Prof Garelli moves beyond academic analysis and shows the day-to-day realities of competitiveness. The book highlights 100 questions which illustrate competitiveness: “Is boring competitive?,” “What are things worth?,” “Can we trust statistics?,” Should we care about “Made in”? “Is failure the price of success?,” “Do we work too much? “Why do large companies disappear? “Do we need the rich?” “How many friends do you need to succeed?,”” Do you have a market value?,” Are you hooked on digital?,” “Is divorce a good business” etc.
The style avoids technicalities and the answers stress the impact of competitiveness on our daily lives. Why am I concerned’ What can I do about it?
