Original Thought in Business Writing - How Unique!
Slywotzky and Morrison have accomplished something with this book that regular readers of business books would have thought impossible - they've applied intelligence and creativity to strategic buisness thinking and created a materpiece of originality and insight. Their categorization of business models into patterns based on their effects on either customers, distribution channels, products, knowledge, or organization is one of those flashes of insight that seems obvious only after someone has articulated it as clearly as Slywotzky and Morrison have done here. The clarity of expression and organization, and the case studies of real-world examples that illustrate the use of these patterns of business strategy and competition, make this a central holding of any serious business reader's library. Every management consultant, business owner or manager, or executive, should understand the business strategies outlined here.
