Reviews: "Few writers bring more energy and verve to the potentially dry subject of business than Rhymer Rigby. He is incapable of writing a dull sentence.
Stefan Stern, management writer and visiting professor at Cass Business School, London, previously the Financial Times management columnist from 2006 to 2010
"Rhymer Rigby is one of the few writers around today who can be both insightful and a delight to read."
Morice Mendoza, CEO of Mendozamedia, former editor of World Business and Human Resources
"Rhymer`s sideways take on corporate life makes his a byline I always seek out.
Nick Hasell, formerly The Ties "Tempus" column editor
Description: What makes a great business thinker? Who are the greatest business brains of our times? 28 Business Thinkers Who Changed the World is a guide to the people who have fundamentally reshaped their industries and the way we do business today. Some of these game changers are great intellectuals while others are "gut instinct" types; some are motivated by a desire to change the world, while others are driven by money and power.
Bursting with energy and wit, Rhymer Rigby profiles the top business brains of our time to show you the humans behind the headlines and how they changed the global business landscape. From Oprah to Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Drucker to Steve Jobs, find out how they made it, the risks they took and the legacies they leave behind.
