Title: A nice read
Product review: If you are looking to understand the various possible structures of companies, the pros and cons therein, trade offs and advantages, read the book. It's not very entertaining, but rather dry. However, I expected that so I wasn't let down.Really the concepts taught here could have been explained easily in half the pages, but Mintzberg loves his data. That data is overwhelming for this book, and half of it could have been left out. Maybe I am not the target audience. However, I prefer a little too much data than a shortage of it.Mintzberg has laid out, with clarity, the structures of companies. He shows that he can think ahead of his time. So many books today espouse one heavily weighted enterprise structure (say, a market focused one) without helping its readers understand the cons.Educational, dry, enlightening. Worth the time, though I would prefer a shorter version.
