Edward Hess talks about Smart Growth on Business Insider, Part 2
In the first part of his interview with Business Insider , Edward Hess the author of Smart Growth: Building an Enduring Business by Managing Risks, questioned the conventional view that growth is necessarily good for business.
In the second half of the interview, Hess talks about some companies that have avoided the trap of focusing solely on short-term growth and quarterly earnings and instead build solid businesses. These companies including Best Buy, Costco, and Sysco.
Ultimately, as Hess suggests, that real growth, not splashy quarterly earnings, will lead to real jobs.
