For a book that promises data and research-based analysis of corporate performance, this was really thin on that, and generally useless. Additionally, in the cases used where I knew a reasonable amount due to other books, research, or firsthand experience, the analysis was incorrect (mostly due to having only very superficial data). This feels like the author milking a (dumb to begin with) franchise for more money. ( )

Another fantastic book by Jim Collins. If you are an entrepreneur or manager eager to build a stable, sustainable great company, it's a must-read. (I have listened to the audiobook version) ( )

I have loaned this book to so many people that have actually loved it. In contrast to the typical "Good to Great" business book, this book analyzes companies that are on the road to failure. If you are working at a company that is already on that slippery slope, this book is a must read to know when to jump ship ( )
