■ The Big Idea
Revolutionary adjustments are essential for businesses and other enterprises to survive and keep pace with the technological advances and innovations that are constantly changing the economic landscape. The author has come up with the radical idea of applying the strategies and tactics of the Founding Fathers during the American Revolution to contemporary business situations.

The lessons provided by revolutionaries George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams ? to name a few ? need not be confined to students of history. The strategies that made the Founding Fathers succeed in forging a republic can also be applied to the boardrooms of IBM, Nike, Honda, Wal-Mart and other modern corporations. The pitfalls and difficulties they encountered also give a valuable insight on how the attitude, tenacity and pragmatism of the leaders enabled them to overcome tremendous obstacles.
