Yet, in such an environment, it is not impossible for companies to survive and make profits.
In this book, a former management consultant and current CEO of a company that survived decline in its market provides practical and hard-won advice for managers and owners of any company in a declining market or situation. In doing so, the author highlights key activities that companies in declining markets should focus on in order to secure their future and remain profitable.

AUTHOR
Alain Liebaert started his career as a management consultant, specializing in reorganizing companies on a ‘no cure, no pay’ basis. Following the death of his father, Alain entered the family business – Liebaert Textiles – and eventually became CEO, where he turned the business around in a declining market. After 30 challenging years, he left the family business in the capable hands of his children (the fifth generation), only to return to his old love of management consulting.
REVIEWS
A combination of fun and seriousness, creativity and pragmatism.
Michel de Kemmeter, Affiliate Professor of the Brussels School of Governance and CEO of Wise Holding
Mastering Decline is three books in one: it’s an engaging study of the challenges of family businesses; it’s an incredibly helpful case study in managing change and adversity; and it’s a playbook for CEOs looking to achieve both balance and success in every aspect of life.
Paula Disberry, Former Executive, now Retail Advisor and Non-Executive Director

Business Alchemy
In this enlightening and engaging book, Andrew Wallas views the company from a metaphysical perspective to provide a new approach to transforming the organization. Business Alchemy focuses on the inner dynamics and energy flow within the organization itself, seeing where there is visible and hidden contradiction working against the aims of the company. It is by taking a deeper look inside of your company (instead of focusing on the outer machinations of your business), and by bringing these (often unconscious) blocks to light, that energy is released and the company is then free to move forward, fully aligned with its stated objectives and goals. This is a unique perspective on how companies can evolve and grow naturally and successfully.

Jack Ma & Alibaba
China's economic rise and influence has been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times.

Jack Ma (Ma Yun) is one such entrepreneur. Together with his company, Alibaba, Ma has become one of the giants of the Internet world and Alibaba, one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms. This book presents Ma's experiences, entrepreneurial career and the whole process of Alibaba's creation. The authors show how Ma subverted traditions and built Alibaba into a behemoth, that set a world record as the largest public stock offering ever during its IPO in New York in 2014.
