()
About this ebook
This complete summary of the ideas from Thomas Davenport and John Beck's book "The Attention Economy" shows that the scarcest resource for businesses today is not capital, talent or ideas; it is attention.

In their book, the authors explain that the successful businesses of the future will realise that time and attention are valuable to their customers, employees and investors. This summary highlights some of the challenges that leaders can expect to face in the coming years and how you can prepare for them.

• Understand key concepts
• Expand your knowledge
To learn more, read "The Attention Economy" and find out why you should focus on allocating attention within your company.

The Two Central Attention Challenges
The Four Dimensions Of Attention Management
The Five Key Attention Applications
Book Abstract
Main Idea
The new driver of success is attention.
In today’s economy, the scarcest business resource isn’t ideas, talent or even capital. All of these are actually available in plentiful supply. Instead, the rarest resource of all is attention itself. There is now so much information competing to be noticed that the limiting factor isn’t supply but demand – the ability of people to absorb and take notice of all the pieces of information they are constantly being presented with.
Thus, the management of attention is going to play an increasingly larger role in business success in the future. By earning and spending attention resources more efficiently, the success stories of the future will be able to:
Attract and retain the very best employees available.
Work with employees to enhance the quality of their work by avoiding burnout or information overloads.
Win and retain the attention and loyalty of customers – no matter how those customers choose to interact with the company.
More effectively sell products and services than competitors.
Impress investors and analysts.
In short, attention is the new currency of business. If you want to be successful in the emerging economy of the future, you’ll need to be good at attracting, managing and harnessing attention.
