Mobile Ready was one of the first business books to map the profound transformation that mobile technology would bring to commerce, culture, and leadership. Written when smartphones were still new, it proved to be a blueprint that businesses are still using today. The book charts how mobile changes not just the way we communicate, but the fundamentals of how businesses must operate, design, and serve customers.

Innovation Wars explores why most corporate innovation fails — and what the companies that get it right do differently. Drawing on two decades of front-line experience across 50+ countries, Scott Bales argues that innovation is less about technology and more about the courage to reimagine how organisations create value. The book has been adopted in executive education programmes across Asia and Europe.
