Business book title competition
Following my last post, I’ve decided to run a little competition for the best Kiwi business book title in the genre of Management secrets of the Carmelite Nuns and How to make a killing in business: Strategic secrets of America’s greatest serial killers.
Entries so far:
Me:
- The Jerry Collins guide to ambush marketing
- Building a global brand on a limited budget, by Nicole Beggs (Hang on, she’s just done that)
David Farrar
- How to build a business on belief, by Brian Tamaki
- Climbing to the Top in Business, by Ed Hillary
- The importance of working in unison, by the Ever-Swindells
Entries close Friday evening, 11 May, NZ time. This is a business blog, so nothing too offensive please. I am sole judge and arbiter (Update: no, I’m not - David Farrar ’s joining me) , I (we) can be suborned, and the prize is the acclamation of the blog-reading public. OK, I’ll buy you a drink if we’re in the same town soon.
Update: That’s Business book titles, folks, and please keep it fun - I’ve already unapproved some nasty suggestions.
