Title: Great approach and theory, poor presentation
Review: You can't avoid hearing about the 80/20 Principle in life, but this book is the first thing that really forced me to sit down and think criticially about how to apply it. I'd highly recommend this book - particularly the first few chapters - to folks working within a business context. In particular, his examples about how to analyze your current product units were insightful and non-trivial. He doesn't just recommend the obvious thing (cut 80% of your work), but integrates 80/20 with future value and market potential analyses.Similar to the other reviewers, I found the example set rather limited, his statistics and tables motivating but unconvincing, and his prose less than compelling. Even given that, though, this book deserves a read and some serious contemplation.
