The "Greatest Business Book of All Time" (Bloomsbury UK), In Search of Excellence has long been a must-have for the boardroom, business school, and bedside table.
Based on a study of forty-three of America's best-run companies from a diverse array of business sectors, In Search of Excellence describes eight basic principles of management -- action-stimulating, people-oriented, profit-maximizing practices -- that made these organizations successful.
Joining the HarperBusiness Essentials series, this phenomenal bestseller features a new Authors' Note, and reintroduces these vital principles in an accessible and practical way for today's management reader.
One Of The All Time Management Classics This book results from a study of several American companies trying to determine the patterns which make them consistently successful. It covers in detail eight timeless common basic principles which make companies great. Highly recommended! If you like this book you will also like "Built To Last" and "From Good To Great".
I was not impressed with the quality of the cd. The beginning of the cd was ok, but then the quality got progressively worse. Do not buy this product.
Not an audio book I bought this CD beleiving it to be the audio version of the book which it is not. It's a recording of a presentation by Tom Peters. The presentation is still useful in that he highlights some of the key findings and his observations of studying US corporations but I still feel I now need to buy the book.
Enthusiastic When it's Tom Peters, it's not the content that matters, but the enthusiasm that you gain from it. I highly recommend it. Other books which I love: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Eightstorm: 8-Step Brainstorming for Innovative Managers.
Very disappointed I believed I would receive an unabridged audio version of the best selling book. This CD seem to be from a lecture. Plus it is copied from a cassette, since it states "turn the tape over." Do not purchase
