Only the paranoid survive

Book • 1996

Andrew S. Grove

In 'Only the Paranoid Survive', Andrew S. Grove discusses the concept of 'Strategic Inflection Points' – moments when the balance of forces shifts significantly, requiring businesses to adapt rapidly to survive.

Grove draws from his experiences at Intel, including the transition from memory chips to microprocessors and the handling of the Pentium flaw, to illustrate how these inflection points can be managed to emerge stronger.

The book emphasizes the importance of constant vigilance, experimentation, and decisive leadership in navigating these critical moments of change.
