Fewer, Bigger, Bolder that's the name of the book Mohanbir Sawhney and Vinod Khosla have put together to guide executives towards mindful business growth, and preclude them from mindless expansion of company products, brands and markets just to gain bigger market share.

Both Sawhney and Khosla have observed unwieldiness of companies, where the complexity of the company grows faster than their revenues. At this time, they believe, the companies need to slow down, take a hard look at their strategy and potentially cut down expansion if they want to further grow. The paradox of growth is that you need to cut back and do less. 

Through this book, Sawhney, a globally recognised professor, consultant and thought leader in marketing partners with Khosla, ex President of Kraft developing market to develop a "Focus 7" framework to help executive realise their growth objectives by making fewer but better bets.
