[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was written in the latter half of the 90s and it shows. Much of what the authors discuss has proven true. One of the most striking things about it is the support many of the authors throw toward outsourcing certain company activities overseas. Talk about the proverbial egg on the face!

In all seriousness, though, this was an interesting book. I really enjoyed the fact that the chapters were short AND thought-provoking. A lot of real practical advice here.
