Publisher's Synopsis
Every SummareaseTM business book summary is written by an MBA graduate of a Top Ten business school with over 20 years of business experience. Our Summary & Analysis titles include everything contained in the 10-Minute Book Summary versions, plus a much more detailed summary of the material included in the book, some observations of our own about the concepts, and suggestions for related reading.
Good to Great is our business religion at Summarease. Collins' best-selling business strategy book captures like no other the "fundamental physics" of why some companies are able to succeed despite adverse market conditions, while others fail. The genius of his work is in identifying pairs of companies whose circumstances are basically the same at a particular point in time but then diverge wildly and identifying the common factors that cause this divergence in pair after pair of comparison companies.
The book is rich with anecdotes and profiles of the executives who made good to great happen at their companies. It brings to life and reinforces the basic findings, and it is fascinating and fun to read how Jim Collins and his team of researchers uncovered these stories and organized them into general principles.
However, if you don't have the time or the inclination to devote several hours to reading the whole book, or you would like to get a quick preview to make sure it is for you before diving in, the summary and analysis in this title will give you what you need to understand the basics of the Good to Great principles and begin to apply them to your company, the social sector or your life.
