- by mega competition an arcane change in regulations or by a seemingly modest change in technology They are not always easy to spot
- but you can't hide from them Intel's first SIP was when the Japanese started producing better-quality lower-cost memory chips It took Grove three years & huge losses to recognize that he had to rethink & reposition the company to become once again leader in its field Grove extrapolates the lessons he has learned from this & other SIPs
- for instance the drama of the Pentium flaw & the SIP brought on by the Internet
- to reveal a unique insight into the management of change He recounts strategies from other companies & examines his own record of success & failure Only the Paranoid Survive is a classic lesson in leadership skills that every manager in every industry will benefit from Every manager must assume that something will change
