Not really about about DoCoMo
This book doesn't give a clear understanding of DoCoMo and it's mechanisms.
It's more of an unctious eulogy about people at Do-Co-Mo and the enterprise itself.
What we learn: Keichi Tachikawa had a keen sense of inequality, former Chairman Ohkochi is impatient, impatient etc., Keichi Enoki seems to be the lucky guy.
This is a latter day celebration of a Japanese enterprise. The rendering of the story could have been influenced heavily by the style of a communist storyteller, writing a biography of communist saint Breshnew or marshal Shukow.Few facts. Tons of incense. Sprinklings of modern management thought.
Not devoid of facts, but these are incoherently interspersed into a rambling storytelling about all and everything.
This book did waste my time and continuous factless ramblings made me feel angry at times.

Superficial and useless analysis
John C. Beck, Mitchell E. Wade clearly do not know and understand the critical factors and strategy behind Ntt DoCoMo's i-mode. Most of the book is so superficial and general to be useless. Most of the intereting elements of Ntt DoCoMo strategy are not covered here so buy something else instead of wasting your money on this. Similar Products
