Leading political innovation activist Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter bring fresh perspective, deep scholarship, and a real and actionable solution, Final Five Voting, to the grand challenge of our broken political and democratic system. Final Five Voting has already been adopted in Alaska and is being advanced in states across the country. The truth is, the American political system is working exactly how it is designed to work, and it isn''t designed or optimized today to work for us—for ordinary citizens. Most people believe that our political system is a public institution with high-minded principles and impartial rules derived from the Constitution. In reality, it has become a private industry dominated by a textbook duopoly—the Democrats and the Republicans—and plagued and perverted by unhealthy competition between the players. Tragically, it has therefore become incapable of delivering solutions to America''s key economic and social challenges. In fact, there''s virtually no connection between our political leaders solving problems and getting reelected. In The Politics Industry, business leader and path-breaking political innovator Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter take a radical new approach. They ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis—and Porter''s distinctive Five Forces framework—to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does, and how the duopoly has led to the devastating outcomes we see today. Using this competition lens, Gehl and Porter identify the most powerful lever for change—a strategy comprised of a clear set of choices in two key areas: how our elections work and how we make our laws. Their bracing assessment and practical recommendations cut through the endless debate about various proposed fixes, such as term limits and campaign finance reform. The result: true political innovation. The Politics Industry is an original and completely nonpartisan guide that will open your eyes to the true dynamics and profound challenges of the American political system and provide real solutions for reshaping the system for the benefit of all. THE INSTITUTE FOR POLITICAL INNOVATION The authors will donate all royalties from the sale of this book to the Institute for Political Innovation.

從零和走向正和，創造醫病雙贏 高費用、低品質，目前的醫療照護體系，沒有人感到滿意 醫生與其他醫療提供者的收入被壓縮，專業判斷受到藐視 失靈的醫療照護體系，每個人都要有新思維，才能有新作為！ 高費用、低品質，關於目前的療護體系，沒有人感到滿意。 病患擔心保險的費用與醫療的品質；雇主要面對節節高漲的保費與不滿的員工； 醫生與其他醫療提供者的收入被壓縮，專業判斷受到藐視， 官僚制度與書面作業加重日常工作；健康照護計畫老是遭到抨擊； 藥品與醫療設施的供應商推出許多救命的藥物與療法，卻因為費用昂貴備受譴責； 政府也不高興，因為預算失去控制。 幾十年來的醫療改革已經無法改善情況，反而更加惡化。 對於健康照護體系，我們需要新的思考方式。 在本書中，國際知名的策略專家麥可．波特， 以及創新領域的專家伊莉莎白．泰絲柏格提出改變的解方。 作者認為，目前的醫療照護體系都在錯誤的層次上彼此競爭 （如：健康計畫、醫療網絡，以及醫院）， 但真正具競爭力之處應是醫師診斷、治療，以及預防疾病。 在現有的醫療體系中，大家追逐的是議價能力及轉移成本的零和競爭， 而非為病人創造價值。 本書勾畫出一個突破性的架構，為醫療體系重新定義競爭力， 對醫院、醫生、健康計畫、雇主與政策制定者提出具體建議， 促使醫療保健邁向正和競爭，讓體系中的所有人都能受益。 【本書特色】 ►全書由王智弘博士審閱（史丹福大學副教授兼醫療預防及成果政策研究中心共同主任）， 並與Jennifer F.

Wettbewerbsvorteile entscheiden über Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Unternehmens. Michael E. Porter zeigt, wie sich Firmen in ihrer Branche Wettbewerbsvorteile verschaffen und so behaupten können. Entweder ein Produkt hat einen Kostenvorteil oder es muss einen einzigartigen Nutzen bieten, der einen höheren Preis rechtfertigt. Porters Strategieklassiker muss jeder kennen, der mit der Strategieentwicklung in einer Firma zu tun hat.

The German health care system is on a collision course with budget realities. Costs are high and rising, and quality problems are becoming ever more apparent. Decades of reforms have produced little change to these troubling trends. Why has Germany failed to solve these cost and quality problems? The reason is that Germany has not set value for patients as the overarching goal, defined as the patient health outcomes achieved per euro expended. This book lays out an action agenda to move Germany to a high value system: care must be reorganized around patients and their medical conditions, providers must compete around the outcomes they achieve, health plans must take an active role in improving subscriber health, and payment must shift to models that reward excellent providers. Also, private insurance must be integrated in the risk-pooling system. These steps are practical and achievable, as numerous examples in the book demonstrate. Moving to a value-based health care system is the only way for Germany to continue to ensure access to excellent health care for everyone.

Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem ist auf Kollisionskurs mit der ökonomischen Realität. Die Kosten sind hoch und steigen weiter, und Qualitätsprobleme bei den Leistungserbringern werden immer offensichtlicher. Jahrzehnte von Reformen haben diesen besorgniserregenden Trend kaum geändert. Warum hat es Deutschland nicht geschafft, die Kosten- und Qualitätsprobleme zu lösen? Das heutige System ist dominiert von Partikularinteressen. Nicht Kostenkontrolle, sondern die Steigerung des Patientennutzens – definiert als Behandlungsergebnis pro ausgegebenem Euro – ist das Ziel, das alle Akteure vereinigen kann. Dazu muss man nicht auf die nächste Gesundheitsreform warten. Massive Verbesserungen lassen sich schon heute zum Vorteil aller verwirklichen. In den zwölf Empfehlungen des Buches geht es darum, wie sich Leistungserbringer um Krankheitsbilder organisieren, wie Wettbewerb um messbare Ergebnisqualität die Norm wird, wie Krankenkassen eine aktivere Rolle in der Gesundheit ihrer Versicherten einnehmen und wie das Vergütungssystem zukünftig Exzellenz in der Versorgung einzelner Krankheitsbilder belohnen sollte. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Autoren, warum die Einbindung der Privaten Krankenversicherung in den Risikostrukturausgleich der Gesetzlichen Krankenkassen unausweichlich ist. Wenn der Patientennutzen in den Mittelpunkt gestellt wird, entstehen Chancen für alle.
