Durante los diez años que han transcurrido desde que se publicara por primera vez, El principio del 80/20 se ha convertido en un clásico del mundo de la empresa y en un éxito de ventas en todo el mundo. La edición especial para conmemorar el décimo aniversario de este libro práctico, provocador y original contiene un capítulo completamente nuevo, en el que Richard Koch comenta algunas de las centenas de reacciones que ha recibido por parte de los lectores del libro y presenta una explicación revisada del verdadero poder del principio. Koch explica cómo el principio del 80/20 permite lograr mucho más invirtiendo mucho menos esfuerzo, tiempo y recursos; tan sólo hay que concentrarse en ese 20 por ciento fundamental y, por lo tanto, controlar lo que sucede, en lugar de dejar que lo que sucede nos controle a nosotros, y multiplicar los resultados varias veces.

本书将引领你重新认识80/20法则的价值,并找到以“少”胜“多”的秘诀——专注于重要的20%,即“关键少数”。正是由于未能把握80/20法则这一精髓,很多企业在复杂化的道路上越走越扩大,结果往往在并购或多元化经营的道路上遭遇挫折。

CE LIVRE PROVOCATEUR soutient et fait la preuve que l''on peut accomplir davantage en fournissant beaucoup moins d''efforts, de temps et de ressources. Bien que le Principe 80/20 ait fortement marqué notre monde moderne, Richard Koch est le premier à montrer comment l''appliquer de manière pratique et systématique. Grâce à une série d''exemples puisés dans les domaines des affaires, du commerce et de la vie en général, l''auteur nous fait découvrir le fonctionnement de cet étonnant principe. Saviez-vous par exemple que 20% de la production d''une entreprise entraîne 80% de ses ventes et de ses profits ? Et que 20% des clients de cette même entreprise génèrent 80 % de ses bénéfices? En nous concentrant sur le fait que 20% de nos efforts nous rapportent la plus grande part de notre réussite, nous pouvons améliorer considérablement notre efficacité. En somme, c''est en mettant notre énergie sur les choses qui comptent que nous pourrons devenir extrêmement efficaces dans notre travail, notre entreprise et notre vie.

A large degree of success in Western civilization can be traced to six principal ideas - Christianity, optimism, science, economic growth, liberalism, and individualism. In theory, a synthesis of these ideas could provide a way for the West to recover its nerve and integrity. But in practice? This book seeks to find the answer.

Richard Koch (1882-1949) was one of the most important medical theoreticians and historians of the 20th century. He was in addition a co-founder of the Free Jewish School in Frankfurt am Main, which was established by Franz Rosenzweig. Kochs unfinished memoirs, published here for the first time, were written in Soviet emigration. Although they basically end in 1911, many of them are however written from the perspective of the experience of National Socialism. Remarks on Judaism and Germanys social position show Koch to be an acute observer of the events at that time. The particular significance of his memoirs lies in the description of medicine in a phase of reorientation. Koch studied and worked with some of the most influential and inventive clinicians of his time: Ernst [Schweninger{Schweninger, E.}, Ludolf von [Krehl and August Bier. The autobiographical notes document the study of these experiences against the backdrop of reflections on philosophy and medical theory and describe Kochs path to his theory of medicine. Richard Koch (1882-1949) zahlt zu den bedeutendsten Medizintheoretikern und -historikern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zudem war er Mitbegrunder des von Franz Rosenzweig initiierten Freien Judischen Lehrhauses in Frankfurt am Main. Die hier erstmals vorgelegten unvollendeten Lebenserinnerungen Kochs entstanden in der sowjetischen Emigration. Sie enden im wesentlichen mit dem Jahr 1911, sind jedoch vielfach bereits aus der Perspektive der Erfahrung des Nationalsozialismus geschrieben. Ausfuhrungen zum Judentum und zur gesellschaftlichen Lage Deutschlands zeigen Koch als scharfen Beobachter des Zeitgeschehens. - Die besondere Bedeutung seiner Erinnerungen liegt in der Schilderung der Medizin in einer Phase der Neuorientierung: Koch studierte und arbeitete bei einigen der einflussreichsten und originellsten Klinikern seiner Zeit: Ernst Schweninger, Ludolf von Krehl und August Bier. Die autobiographischen Aufzeichnungen dokumentieren die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Erfahrungen vor dem Hintergrund philosophischer und medizintheoretischer Uberlegungen und beschreiben Kochs Weg zu seiner Theorie der Medizin.

In this sequel to the bestselling The 80/20 Principle, Richard Koch reveals how things really work - the universal, powerful patterns in nature, society, organizations and markets, the power laws - that can be applied successfully to life and business in the early 21st century.
