Recommendation

John Guaspari’s instructive and amusing fable about "Quality" has been a favorite in the business world since it was first published in 1985. As it points out what to do and what not to do in the pursuit of quality and market share, the book illustrates the ups and downs of Punctuation, Inc., the mythical company founded by the inventor of punctuation. This thought-provoking and entertaining little book takes only an hour or two to read, but the author intends for its message to stick with you for a lifetime. getAbstract recommends this book to executives, managers, customer-service employees and those who run their own businesses.

Take-Aways

  • Quality is everything.
  • "I know it when I see it" is the common consumer definition of Quality.
  • Quality is less expensive to provide than the alternatives.

    Quick read and cute story line. Worth 2 hours of your time. Bought it off Amazon for $0.01, but paid $3.00 in shipping.
