DESCRIPTION:
This second edition builds on the success of the first and contains a wealth of new material, including many more interviews with Formula 1 drivers and other key executives active in the sport.. With performance as the central focus of every organization, Performance at the Limit uses the case of Formula 1 motorsport as an example of how business can achieve optimal performance in highly competitive environments where dealing with change effectively is paramount. Can you imagine your organisation as a Ferrari or a McLaren, a Toyota or a Force India? Your management team as a pit crew? Your sales force as the race team and your marketing and research department as the design studio creating a Formula 1 car? Formula 1 has an estimated turnover of $4bn, employs 50,000 people in more than 30 countries and has a foothold in every major and developing economy

Performance at the Limit articulates perfectly the split-second gap between also-ran, good and great. The basic lesson is that it needs more than a skilled driver to win the race.

Turtle said Good Business Book - Overpriced. The book has lots of inside information re: F1 The Business, but is short on how it really relates to business in general. I anticipated far more info on how people who sponsor F1 engage within the sport to achieve the goals that they have set for that investment, but there was not much. It has lots of great insights.

I am new to the "business" of Formula 1, the book helped me understand how the sporting organization operates and how the teams (in general) work. This book isn't going to tell you the science of the cars; it is a book about the people of Formula one.. "Love It!" according to Christie. My 22 year old son requested this book and loves it. He belongs to a Motor Sport Race Team and can't get enough of anything to do with Motor Racing
