Abstract "Combines the clever, counterintuitive stories about everyday life and human behavior of Freakonomics with the big idea impact of Execution and Good to Great to provide a powerful way of getting a grip on the big issue facing not only business but nonprofits and cultural organizations: declining demand. A core business title as useful for CEOs and middle managers as for the pastor of a church wondering how best to build a congregation and the head of the local symphony looking to diversify and build an audience"-- Provided by publisher.
