Rating: 4 out of 5
Very good
Although it is a little dry, this book is clearly one of the few business books that I have found worth reading. Clearly, the author understands how complex organizations can succeed. His perception of the business future is very interesting.

Intriguing exploration of strategy in a networked world.
The author addresses the central issue of how to deal with the emergence of networks of companies acting as a single, powerful, enterprise. One of this book's key deliverables is the detailing of HOW to build a relationship enterprise (alliance formation methodology). Another central point is the shift from episodic alliances to long-term relationships. The author also examines the new role of leadership in an alliance, lacking traditional managerial control, as well as the new role of the CEO and directors. Additionally, Freidheim delves into both pessimistic and optimistic scenarios for a 21st Century of relationship enterprises. An intriguing exploration of strategy and leadership in the emerging networked global economy.
