Generative AI and its Managerial Implications
Dear Manager,
I have a few questions for you:
-
How many times were you bothered by the direction your company is taking?
-
How many times have you heard the mumbo jumbo corporate strategy?
-
How many times have consultants spewed jargon on how to steer your company, and you didn’t have a clue what to do next?
Well, if you feel that these questions are relevant to you, I suggest that you read my book

Synthesizing different managerial perspectives into a coherent approach
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
When one trains to become a manager, one acquires tools that originate from differing perspectives and paradigms, but no one bothers to integrate these diverse views. This book fills the gap: Amnon Danzig, with his vast experience, puts it all together - a comprehensive and integrated managerial view, accompanied with realistic examples.

“In a world of big data and powerful tools, we need big picture thinking more than ever before. Amnon’s book, From Enigma to Paradigm, traverses and connects different business disciplines (from strategy to finance to marketing) to provide that perspective, without lapsing into buzzwords and jargon.”

Enigma to Paradigm combines conceptual power and practicality with refreshing brevity as Mr. Danzing outlines frameworks for innovation girded by strong business fundamentals.
Why is this important?
In an era where markets seem to keep rising, start ups are the rage (deja vu?), betting that modern day Unicorns grow to be more real than the mythical origins of the name -- we eagerly wait to see which start ups actually become viable, current stratospheric valuations or not.
Against this backdrop is a reminder that good business is built upon solid foundation.
True innovation requires brilliant, tenacious, execution – not just “powerpoints”.
In parallel, Mr. Danzig guides the reader to foundations of business discipline while encouraging and celebrating business leaders to strive and forge ahead.
Entrepreneurs, corporate executives, board members and investors will benefit from this book as common touch point to assure that operation supports vision, vision supported by structure.
Not brittle but nimble to respond to expanding markets as well as economic uncertainty or downturn. Always remember that the Moonshot had very capable ground team.
Enigma to Paradigm is a very interesting book for these very interesting times.
