From the publisher

In "How To Be A Billionaire" erfahren Sie, wie sich manche Leute in einem ganz bestimmten Bereich menschlichen Strebens hervorgetan haben, nmlich im Streben nach Geld. Hier geht es nicht um das halbe Prozent der amerikanerikanischen Bevlkerung, das ber einen Kapitalwert von einer Million Dollar verfgt. Hier geht es um Amerikaner, die 1.000 bis 40.000 Millionen Dollar ihr eigen nennen. In diesem Buch wird zum ersten Mal diese massive Anhufung von privatem Vermgen ausfhrlich untersucht. Hierbei sttzt sich Fridson verstrkt auf Biographien und journalistische Reportagen, die die Findigkeit, den Elan und die Rcksichtslosigkeit dokumentieren, auf die sich diese Vermgen grnden. Er enthllt die wichtigsten Taktiken, Prinzipien und Strategien, die die Reichen superreich gemacht haben, wie z. B: "Versto e gegen die Regeln", "Nachahmung ist besser als Innovation", "Beherrsche den Markt", "Investiere in politischen Einflu " und "bertrumpfe die Konkurrenz". Erlutert wird das gesamte Repertoire, angefangen bei Verhandlungstechniken ber Tipps fr den besten Deal bis hin zur Wahl der Branche und zum Brsengang des Unternehmens. Eine unverzichtbare Lektre fr jeden, der (erfolg)reicher werden will. (12/99)
