Negative Positive
Title: Well written and to the point
Review: Harlan Platt and Carter Pate have created an excellent work balancing the "real world" of corporate renewal and "academic analysis". Most works on the subject are either rehashed war stories providing little insight into the subject or long and dry academic works missing the nuances and human elements of fixing companies.The nine strategies focus on the issues that most turnaround consultants deal with one way or another during their work. While professionals may mentally go through these exercises and use these strategies, this is a solid summary for everyone else to learn from and follow.As a turnaround consultant, I have read almost all the books on the subject and found this one to be closer to the truth than any other.
Is the review positive or negative?
