Hailed as one of the world’s most experienced corporate crisis managers, Marvin A. Davis is offering a survival guide to American business with the debut of “Take No Prisoners: A No-Holds-Barred Approach to Corporate Excellence” (AMACON, December 11, 2007). With today’s fickle global economy looming over the heads of organizations worldwide, Davis, responsible for the resuscitation of over 100 faltering corporations, is setting forth a new paradigm for steering business back on to the path of success.

In “Take No Prisoners,” Davis, author of the acclaimed book “Turnaround,” the classic how-to manual on returning business to profitability, gives hard-line, tough-love solutions to the real and difficult problems that hinder success. Laying out clear plans and step-by-step strategies, “Take No Prisoners” challenges corporations to tackle potential downfalls before they appear. Not only for organizations that find themselves currently in trouble, “Take No Prisoners” sets a new benchmark for corporate excellence, outlining the tools needed to increase profitability. For those that are already in the danger zone, Davis provides the troubleshooting skills necessary to change the outlook for their organization entirely.

“Companies miss their full earnings potential by not asking themselves some basic questions or analyzing their operations properly,” Davis writes. “Corporations need a provocative methodology for identifying and solving problems.”

By addressing issues that may at first seem too messy or dangerous, companies can learn how to truly improve performance, increase profits, and boost cash flow. Companies shouldn’t wait until they are in dire straits to make changes; they can alleviate many problems if they act now and meet them head-on. Through real-life examples of corporations who have made these solutions work successfully, “Take No Prisoners” tells American companies the truth about the state of their business, and directs them on the path from sub-par to resounding success.
