How P&G, McDonald’s and Microsoft are Redefining Winning in Business Relationships is the fourth book in a break-out series exploring the Vested hybrid business model and its evolution and market adoption from award-winning research conducted by the University of Tennessee Center for Executive Education and funded by the U.S. Air Force.

In Vested, lead researcher and faculty member Kate Vitasek and professor/co-author Dr. Karl Manrodt take the reader beyond win-win theory to show how real companies are applying the “Five Rules” of Vested to build successful relationships grounded in shared values that deliver desired outcomes and mutual success. In doing so, they demonstrate John Nash’s Nobel Prize-winning equilibrium theory that cooperation, not competition, guarantees the best results for everyone involved.

Vested also challenges readers to consider what it will mean to “win” in today’s evolving business landscape. As the world marches towards reinvention, Vested partnerships aren’t just the best way to achieve business success; they’re the only way to work together to create success for a future we can no longer prepare for or envision.
