Big Wave Surfing

The United States has evolved from an agricultural to a service economy. To maintain our standard of living, we must become the world’s innovation economy. Big Wave Surfing provides the insights necessary to survive in today’s technology economy.

A book proudly edited by Editorial Inspirations is making waves in both the literary and business worlds. It was the winner of ten literary awards in 2011 and numerous more awards in subsequent years, until the next edition came out!

Big Wave Surfing: Extreme Technology Development, Management, Marketing & Investing by Kenneth J. Thurber is proving itself to be an invaluable resource for all those interested in the technology business. Thurber’s text presents itself as a “street fighter’s guide” to the world of technology and economic development and offers its readers insight and practical advice about how to deal with disruptions in today’s changing job market.

Using a surfing metaphor throughout, Thurber’s style is easy to read and accessible to a broad spectrum of readers, from corporate CFOs to private investors and entrepreneurs. The book’s illustrations also add to its overall appeal and effectiveness. It’s easy to see why Thurber’s book has won so many awards including the 2012 Small Business Book Award in the technology category, a 2011 Independent Publisher Book Award in the finance/investment/economics category, and several 2011 Reader Views Literary Awards for the mid-west region and business/sales/economics categories and for the best business book of the year.
