Reviews

[Ngee Poo]

Great take on the factors behind what led to Harley Davidson's financial troubles, the eventual turnaround, and how factors like its brand name helped contribute greatly to the turnaround. Great reading for all business practitioners.

[Dann Zinke]

Lots of dated info, but still well-written and informative

[Matt]

Very good.

Could have been made into a movie.
