Prahalad deals mainly with issues what companies respective managers have to do today if they want create the markets of the future and/or revolutionise their industries. The authors describe their book as a guide for managers who are willing to focus on the long-term and not only short-term success of the corporation a guide to imagine the future and afterwards to create it. Like the authors state in the end of the book, it is not only about making a difference to managers but also about making a difference to customers as well as employees.
