Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

ASIN: 0805075186

Book Description

'Conjures insights into the history and character of those who keep our economy vital and growing. Illuminating.' -Warren Bennis Entrepreneurs, even more than inventors, are essential to American business. While inventors produce ideas, entrepreneurs get things done, build the markets, make ideas reality. But what creative talents do the legendary American entrepreneurs share, and what can you learn from them about business success? Using lively character sketches and company stories, University of Rhode Island professor Maury Klein analyzes how innovators from Andrew Carnegie to Bill Gates triumphed over perennial challenges in planning and strategy, production, operations, staffing, and sales-and transformed entire industries. Comparing the retailing acumen of J.C. Penney and Wal-Mart's Sam Walton, the organizational ingenuity of Standard Oil's John D. Rockefeller and Intel's Robert Noyce, the imaginative marketing of General Motors' Alfred Sloan and McDonald's Ray Kroc, Klein reveals the art and archetype of launching an enterprise.

Pretty good, but not great.......2004-06-17

As one reviewer pointed out, he should have focused on each man seperatly! It was hard to remember who was who. It is still an interesting read though. Try Masters of Enterprise. It is a more thorough look at most of the same men, and also has some different entrepreneurs like Mary Kay (yes, the cosmetics Mary Kay.)

Dry and Boring.......2004-01-10

The author does go into great depth with his research, but the writing style is academic, dry, and unengaging.
It was difficult for me to get a clear profile of the entrepreneurs profiled in the book because instead of focusing on one at a time, Klein takes one topic (i.e. - childhood), and does a brief synopsis on every single person, before tackling another topic and doing it all over again.
The author also seems to waver between trying to establish a relationship, a common thread, between the profiled entrepreneurs, only to state that there is not set pattern or point out abberations.

A frustrating read.

Interesting Compilation.......2003-11-12

Few books of this sort are around, so you must give credit to Klein for doing his research. Interesting stories and analyses of two dozen or so entrepreneurs and their various personality traits. Perhaps could be more concise sometimes, but nonetheless good that he went into detail because it was interesting to compare this elite group of business leaders for each of the areas he discusses.

Codename Bulldog tells the tale of how 2 already established executives--one an experienced idea man and another a finance wiz--used a new set of rules to conceive of, fund and launch their startup. The iWon project, secretively known as "bulldog" until its launch 2 weeks ago, grabbed the attention (and checkbooks) of among others CBS CEO Mel Karmazin and NFL President and COO, Neil Austrian who will serve on iWon's board. Engaging and humorously written, this warts-and-all story follows the duo as they conceived of, found funding for, and launched iWon and came up with a new set of rules for winning in the high-stakes world of Internet business.

Manufacturer: Kessinger Publishing, LLC
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover

Economic History | Economics | Business & Investing | Subjects | Books
General | Business & Investing | Subjects | Books
ASIN: 1432622668

Book Description

1890. P. T. Barnum was a conspicuous example of success in life, and therefore qualified to write a work of this kind for the guidance of his countrymen. The store of shrewd and kindly observation; the numerous illustrations and anecdotes marked by a dry humor which is itself irresistible; and the personal reminiscences of a man who has mingled with all sorts and conditions of men, unite to add unusual interest. With a view to illustrating the rules laid down by P.T. Barnum, sketches of the lives of successful men are given in the second part of the book. These include a wide variety of the famous and successful - Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield, Horace Greeley, Thomas Edison, Daniel Webster, Samuel Morse, John Wanamaker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ward Beecher, Jay Gould, Marshall Field, and many more. The third part of the book is a concise history of money, banks, and banking, with such provocative chapter titles as: What Is A Dollar?, Shall We Demonetize Silver?, Can Paper be Made a Perfect Money?, Are Banks Beneficial?, and Investment vs. Speculation. The book is known to have been read and owned by Mark Twain.

A humorous and shrewd self-help book .......2005-12-20

Phineas Taylor Barnum (July 5, 1810 - April 7, 1891), American showman who is best remembered for his entertaining hoaxes and for founding the circus that eventually became Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.

In Brooklyn, New York in 1871, he established "P.T. Barnum's Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan, and Circus", a traveling amalgamation of circus, menagerie and museum of "freaks", which by 1872 was billing itself as "The Greatest Show on Earth".

There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase often credited to P.T. Barnum. However, when Barnum's biographer tried to track down when Barnum had uttered this phrase, all of Barnum's friends and acquaintances told him it was out of character. Barnum's credo was more along the lines of "there's a customer born every minute" -- he wanted to find ways to draw new customers in all the time because competition was fierce and people bored easily

Barnum wrote several books, including The Humbugs of the World (1865), Struggles and Triumphs (1869), and his Autobiography (first in 1854, and later editions including 1869).

Barnum is a treat to read and is never boring! I highly recommend his books.

Basic to small business succees.......2007-04-02

Frankly, when I bought this book, I thought "Another book about corporate branding and theory". I only bought it because Mr. Sims was going to be the Keynote speaker at a convention I was attending. I wanted to buy the book before I heard him speak. I'm glad I did. He explains how branding is what your customers think of you. It really opened my eyes. I never thought of it that way before. He also gave examples from several businesses he worked with and how he "positioned" the company in the community's perception. I can't wait for his next book so he can expand on some of these ideas.

A good overview and introduction to the field of AI.......2005-03-25

This book a a great starting point for studying Artificial Intelligence. For those with a Computer Science background, the book is a quick read that will show how theories such as data structures and search algorithms apply to the different areas of AI. For those without a background in computers, the book will take longer to read and for deeper understanding of some subjects other texts may need to be consulted. However, it is still one of the easiest-to-understand books on AI as most are extemely lengthy and detailed beyond the scope of what most beginners are able to understand.
The book is well written and explains complicated topics in plain English. Figures are used effectively to explain certain concepts. An extremely helpful feature is that every chapter is summarized and further references on that topic are given with a short description of the strength and weaknesses of each reference.
I would definitely recommend this book to those who want to learn about AI. Its a great starting point that can lead you in the right direction if you want to study a particular topic in further detail.

Wonderfully simple and sweet.......2003-07-12

This is a wonderfully compact introduction to the basic concepts of Artifical Intelligence. You probably aren't going to be able to go and write your own AI after reading this but at least you'll have enough background to read a more detailed text and some of the scientific literature out there. If you've picked up other AI books and felt lost then start here, you won't regret it.

Very readable introductory text.......2002-12-20

This is a very readable introductory text. Its coverage of topics is surprisingly good for such a slender volume. I especially liked the chapter on searching--the examples are very clear.

A neat and concise summary.......2000-02-07

This book is a fine introductory text on AI. It covers all major subjects in the field and it is very clear and elaborates on the problems in a very direct and simple manner. If you are looking for an introductory text, then you found it by now.

I picked up this book hoping it would provide me with the "essence", easy-to-understand fundamentals and theory behind of the communications theory. But after reading just few first chapters, I gave up. The book quickly decends from high-level descriptions of the basics down to the dirty details, so quickly at times, it's hard to follow. The most annoying fact for me, however, was that often to exlain something the author is using the terms he hasn't introduced yet. I'd think an "essence" book shouldn't assume anything about its readers background. But for someone who wants to learn right terminology and underlying math, this book would be a good fit.
