Hello. My book is about values and numbers I have a passion for both. It is very difficult to start a successful business without a firm values-based foundation and it is almost impossible to run a successful business unless everyone understands the numbers. Approximately Right shows you how to do this whether youre a start-up or an established company; whether youre 22 or 75. "This book isn´t Approximately Right. It is Absolutely Right". Carl-Henric Svanberg, Ordförande för BP och Volvo, tidigare VD för Ericsson och Assa Abloy "De enkla lösningarna är oftast de bästa. Approximately Right visar hur de kan genomföras på ett handgripligt sätt." Thomas Berglund, VD för Capio och tidigare VD för Securitas "Det här är en managementbok som jag skulle ha behövt läsa när jag var 20 år gammal." Lars Mattsson, Seniorrådgivare på Solberg och tidigare ekonomiskribent

Every organization has a unique history. Put to proper use, it becomes a strategic asset that companies can leverage for future growth. <br/><br/>Because a companys history fills its brand with meaning and energizes its communication. It strengthens the organizations identity and propels everyone in it forward. Knowledge of what happened in the past even helps organizations face todays changes and risks. Not bad for an asset that is all too often regarded as a simple side effect of a companys ordinary business. <br/><br/>This book shows the business energy that can be unleashed through an active use of a companys own heritage or history marketing. It is a book for business leaders, marketers, communicators, legal counsels, HR managers, and all entrepreneurs who wonder how the past can be used to create value for their particular company. <br/><br/>Opinions about the book: <br/><br/>This trailblazing book is essential reading for putting the most precious but also most underestimated asset in businesses to use.<br/>/Alexander L.
