American Shockwave: Entrepreneurial Capitalism and Its Global Impact $50.94 Used – Shienbaum argues that the New Economy of innovation, entrepreneurship, and competition was catalyzed by 1970s and 1980s federal policymaking encouraging those salutary market behaviors.

American Shockwave: Entrepreneurial Capitalism and Its Global Impact $107.55 Challenging conventional wisdom, Shienbaum argues that the U.S. federal government, not the private sector, created the dynamic New Economy. Declining economic competitiveness and relative global underperformance during the 1970s and early 1980s threatened America’s post-war global leadership position, a role Washington was loath to relinquish, especially during the Cold War. Citing these threats to American leadership and security, government officials set out to make the U.S. economy more competitive by creating innovative technology policies combined with policies providing strong incentives to new entrants while removing regulatory protections from more established companies. The federal government, in other words, nurtured fragile high-tech start-ups while forcing larger companies to compete in the marketplace, in the process transforming regulatory capitalism into an entrepreneurial capitalism marked by innovation, entrepreneurship, and competition.

Career Imprints $34.95 Praise for Career Imprints Monica Higgins’ groundbreaking work, Career Imprints, offers bold and original insights into the way in which talent-laden companies spawn new businesses, as Baxter alums did for the biotech industry. Her provocative and thoroughly documented research goes well beyond classic economic theories to demonstrate conclusively why entrepreneurially-led companies have the capacity not only to create new companies but entire industries as well. Bill George, author, Authentic Leadership, and former chairman and chief executive officer, Medtronic At the heart of this important study is a fascinating question: Why did alumni of one company the amazing ‘Baxter boys’ produce so many of the leaders of the burgeoning biotech industry? To find the answers, Monica Higgins left no research stone unturned. The result is a compelling new theory about exactly what happens in the early stages of careers to shape true leaders who can guide innovation and entrepreneurship. Higgins’ concepts will leave their imprint on careers, company cultures, and industry development. Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School, author, Confidence: How Winning Streaks & Losing Streaks Begin & End What Fairchild was to the development of high technology firms in Silicon Valley, Baxter has been to the evolution of the biopharmaceutical industry. Monica Higgins builds a fascinating, richly portrayed case for Baxter’s impact on the creation and growth of biopharmaceutical firms. Denise Rousseau, H.J. Heinz II Professor of Organization Behavior and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University Dr. Higgins has written an insightful analysis ofa phenomenon which shaped the biotechnology industry. There is no doubt that my days at Baxter had the most profound influence on my life and career as well as on those of my colleagues.
