Negative Positive
Title: Great reviews, but disappointing
Review: The reviews on the books back cover actually intrigued me - DJ Teece, Al Rappaport actually do not review books uncritically. But in this case there is a big "but". The book actually is an extension of an article of Williams published long ago, and the reviews probably still reflect the article and not the book, which is not recommendable. It is strange, for example, that the author refers to the pharmaceutical industry as "slow cycle" industry, while everybody knows that there are few industry where time is so critical to success and where radical changes (just look at biotech and the revolutionary changes ahead) occur so quickly and drammatically.The book cites far too many industries to provide any actionable information and it is legitimate to say that it is highly superficial.My clear vote is "Not recommended".
Is the review positive or negative?
