Recommendation

Two marketing consultants – brothers Jeffrey Eisenberg and Bryan Eisenberg – writing with Roy H. Williams, examine Amazon’s business principles through the eyes of two fictional men on a road trip. The text is an extended dialogue between the older man “Poobah” and his younger protégé “Sunshine.” The authors quote  interviews with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and discuss famous companies, including Kodak, Walmart, Sears, GM and Costco. The two voyagers visit Kesslers Diamonds of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and the Morris-Jenkins heating and air conditioning firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. The authors unveil useful management advice as they explain the set of “unifying principles” these organizations follow. Business students and professors, executives, and business owners will find this low-key, well-informed conversation interesting and fruitful.

Take-Aways

  • A fictitious mentor and protégé discuss the principles of successful companies.
  • They find that Amazon, Costco and Kodak provide worthy business lessons.
  • Every successful company lives by its “unifying principles” or “stone pillars.”
