How Excellent Companies Avoid Dumb Things: Breaking… av Neil Smith
Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.Very good to read!!!
Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.(Can't believe I neglected to post review for so long)
Nothing fancy or earthshaking... I get others comments about "sales pitch-y" as well. If you are a business addict (which I am sometimes), it may appeal. Beyond that, I cannot recommend.

Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.The ideas presented by Neil Smith in this book are very relevant to higher management in medium to large companies looking to fix operations and efficiency. With lots of experience and case studies to draw on, Smith can illustrate his "barriers" and roughly outline fixes in a variety of environments. The book had plenty to offer and a lot can be taken from Smith's expertise but as other reviewers pointed out, the book reads more like a advertisement for consulting services than a management tutorial. Solutions are hinted at but never truly presented and each chapters has a very polished shine to it which reads more like ad copy than professional development text. Devoted readers/managers could pull some ideas from the book but implementing them without further employing Smith might prove difficult.… (mer)
Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.I read this one shortly after receiving it from Early Reviewers, and just noticed that the review I wrote apparently never got saved. Ah well. I found it spot-on in identifying the various problems businesses face, particularly the problems of companies not soliciting improvement ideas from all employees, and resistance to change in general. The arguments were convincing, but I found myself doubting that companies would actually be able to put the reforms into place.
