Going the Distance
Why Some Companies Dominate And Others Fail
Recommendation
Authors Kevin Kennedy and Mary Moore present a clear analysis and a useful set of prescriptions for long term corporate success - delineated by detailing eight challenges and describing how to meet them - but the main value of their book does not reside primarily in their general advice. The real heft lies in their excellent real world examples, which you can use to draw your own conclusions. The illustrative anecdotes from Cisco (where Kennedy was a senior vice president) and other companies are among the book’s high points. They are vivid and well-chosen, with all the detail needed to make them rewarding and informative. The book’s style may be a bit pedestrian and jargon-filled, but don’t let that deter you. getAbstract.com assures you that the detailed inside examples make it all worthwhile.
