        The Unprincipled

        The Unvarnished Truth About Running A Marketing Agency From Start-up To Sell-out

        by David Croydon

        Building a business from start-up to sell-out. When I started, or at least co-founded, a small sales promotion agency called Marketing Principles in Oxford over 20 years ago, I had no idea about the dramas that would ensue, or the mixture of fun and games and pain and heartache that could be telescoped into 12 short years. I needed to get a lot of this off my chest for cathartic and purely selfish reasons, but in doing so, and in my current role as small business advisor/coach/mentor/NEC, I realised along the way that the lessons learned might be instructive as well as just entertaining, which is where it originally started. The title is taken from the scurrilous in-house ‘newsletter’ our creative department took to compiling a couple of times a year, to debunk any of our employees who… oh, just anyone who worked for us (including me). We begin the journey in 1985.  The key protagonists (at the beginning) all have gainful employment at another local agency, and on the face of it should be content with their lot.  But then this thing called ambition comes knocking, and a 12-year roller coaster ride begins. A couple of reviewers have described the content as part business handbook, part memoir, part comic novel, which makes it difficult to categorise in publishing terms.  Its style and tone of voice is what makes it unique, and it will appeal to small business owner/managers - from start-ups to established businesses - anywhere: they will recognise many of the issues and problems that we confronted along the way. So it's a personal account, but one that will resonate with anyone who has ever run a small business (or aspires to). Here's a video about the business that is the book's subject matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2_heofh0WE

        Libiya in Limbo

        Echos from Marsa El-Brega

        by Muriel Arnold

        Muriel Arnold has led a varied and interesting career which has taken her to all corners of the world. After working in Spain and as Social Secretary on the Queen Elizabeth 2 for the World Cruises (beautifully described in Tiaras & T-shirts) her next move was rather more prosaic when she found herself as a secretary working for Esso Standard Libya Inc in the Sahara desert oilfield of Marsa el-Brega. Life was tough with Colonel Gaddafi and Libyan Government restrictions and bureaucracy ruling everyone’s lives. Surveillance by Security was the norm and form-filling took up large chunks of the day. The work involved long hours and ‘home’ was a one bedroom bungalow in ‘Secretary Street’! A blow-out of an oil well deep in the desert brought drama and frenetic organisation for days while Red Adair and his team worked to extinguish it. Every ninety days Muriel was required to renew her visa which necessitated a round trip to London - which did not always go smoothly. The author has described very well the life endured by oil workers in the Libyan desert when political and bureaucratic regulations more than matched the heat and discomfort of oil production.

        The Secrets of Overnight Success

        by Max Gunther

        In this book you will meet three dozen impatient people. They weren't satisfied with the slow, plodding, money-saving route to financial security, the safe route that most of us feel stuck with. They wanted instant wealth - and they got it.As Max Gunther points out, our folklore frowns on the idea of quick money. As in the fable about the race between a tortoise and a hare. "In the fable, the hare loses. The stories in this book are not fables. They are true. In these stories, the hares win."They are a richly varied lot, these happy hares. Gunther opens with a few dazzling millionaire legends, such as the man who invented Monopoly. You'll then meet fascinating characters such as: Harvey Shuster, who beat the stock market; Howard Brown, who decided to be rich and became a multi-millionaire within three years; and a group of men who made fast fortunes on fads such as the Hula Hoop and the Frisbee.These stores illustrate that the dream of quick money isn't such a ridiculous dream after all. Read these tales about hares who have won and when you have, maybe you'll decide to run with them.

        The Cipla Story, Since 1935

        by Tulsi Vatsal

        Caring for Life: The Cipla Story Since 1935 traces the evolution of the Indian pharmaceutical company, from its humble beginnings in a rented bungalow in the heart of Bombay to the significant global player that it has become today.     The story unfolds against the backdrop of tumultuous events across the world and in India, a people’s struggle for independence and the growth of a nation. Running parallel to the corporate narrative is a history of medicine and Cipla’s role in disease management, from combating conditions which affect millions, such as respiratory ailments, to rare diseases, such as thalassaemia.   Driven by an unshakeable conviction that high-quality drugs can be provided at affordable prices, Cipla’s groundbreaking offer of antiretroviral drugs at ‘$1 a day’ in 2001 opened a whole new front in the battle for affordable HIV/AIDS medicines around the world, saving the lives of millions. The acceptance of low-priced Indian generics fuelled the expansion of the Indian pharma industry, placing the country well on the path to being accepted as ‘the pharmacy to the world’.    In 2020, Cipla has 46 state-of-the-art manufacturing units across the world and a presence in more than 80 countries. It offers over 1,500 products across various therapeutic categories in more than 35 dosage forms. And Cipla’s compassionate approach to medicine and health care goes well beyond the pursuit of profit and growth, as is exemplified by its Palliative Care & Training Centre, the flagship initiative of the Cipla Foundation.   Richly illustrated with over 350 photographs, this fascinating book will captivate anyone with an interest in the history of India and Cipla’s seminal role in the evolution of the Indian pharmaceutical industry.
