Jim Collins - Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don`tИздательство: Collins c. 320 2001 г. Суперобложка ISBN: 0066620996 От издателя: Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?". In Good to Great Collins, the author of "Built to Last" concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11- including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo - and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn`t require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy.
