Peter Fingar Pens His 7th Book: "Extreme Competition: Innovation and
the Great 21st Century Business Transformation"

"The world isn't flat as a result of globalization; it's tilted in
favor of a fierce new breed of competitors." -- Peter Fingar


TAMPA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/24/06 -- Contrary to the current buzz
circulating through the press these days, the world isn't flat as a
result of globalization; it's tilted in favor of a fierce new breed of
competitors. A new form of extreme competition is being driven by the
emergence of a wired world and three billion new capitalists from
China, India and the former Soviet Union. In order to adapt to the new
realities of extreme competition, companies and individuals alike will
have to innovate how they operate, and transform the fundamental ways
they conduct business.


"Extreme Competition" cites dozens of "real world" examples and taps
the expertise of global business leaders to provide the reader with:





-- Five unstoppable drivers transforming competition

-- Sixteen new realities of business

-- Thirteen concrete strategies you'll want to consider as you chart your

future





"'Extreme Competition' eloquently describes how companies must rethink
their business strategies, from the ground up, to respond to the
realities of 21st century competition," said Bryan Maizlish, CTO of
Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions.


"Peter Fingar has fused a gem of a book under the pressure of the need
for change. I started to read 'Extreme Competition' and I could not
put it down until I finished it, except what was necessary to sustain
life. I rarely take time to drink in a book about business revolution,
but this book has the potential to guide a significant change in the
way we look at business," said Jim Sinur, VP and Distinguished
Analyst, Gartner Research.


The book can be purchased at Amazon, Borders and Barnes & Noble.
