Author: Jim Collins

Selection Statement:

This book provides some keen insights into why some companies consistently outperform their competition. The findings presented are not profound. In fact, they may seem too obvious. But these findings provide concepts that are fundamental to long-term, sustained success. What makes this book particularly meaningful is that the findings are applicable in nearly any aspect of life. Academic departments, centers, or even individual programs (whether teaching, research, or extension) can benefit from the application of these concepts.
