			BusinessThink: rules for getting It Right- Now and No Matter What! Despite the chaos of world events and the attendant unpredictability of the economy, optimism in the power of innovation continues to prevail, stronger than ever. Around the globe, 101 new patents are applied for every hour, and approximately 2,265 enterprises are started each day. Unfortunately, the number of business failures is almost on par with the number of business launches. Every hour, of every day, more than 46 businesses cease operation. Marcum, Smith, and Khalsa believe that the monumental gap between generating new ideas and getting results is due to the monumental lack of "business" thinking. They reason that because decisions about what an enterprise can do and should do are driven by thinking, everyone throughout the enterprise must apply sounder judgment to the decision-making process in order to get sound results. businessThink introduces a simple, proven framework, accompanied by a set of "acid-test" rules, for clearly and deeply thinking through every proposed product, process, and business strategy so that the right opportunities are seized, time and again, and the company creates and maintains product/service relevance.
