Summary
"In a book that challenges conventional wisdom about pricing, product design, organization, and incentives, David Evans and Richard Schmalensee provide the first step-by-step framework for launching and sustaining dynamic businesses. They examine the most successful catalysts of all time, as well as many that tried and failed, and provide original insights into the secrets of success. Catalyst Code draws lessons from early history, modern-day business, and the authors' groundbreaking research into what really makes these companies tick."--BOOK JACKET.
