*********************************************************************************************'This is not a book about charismatic visionary leaders. It is not about visionary product concepts or visionary products or visionary market insights. Nor is it about just having a corporate vision. This is a book about something far more important, enduring, and substantial. This is a book about visionary companies.'
Drawing upon a six-year research project at the
Stanford University Graduate School of Business
, multimillion copy bestselling author, speaker and consultant focused on business management and company sustainability and growth Jim Collins and organizational theorist Jerry Porras took
eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies
and studied each company in
direct comparison to one of its top competitors
. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day - as start-ups, as midsize companies and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked
: 'What makes the truly exceptional companies different from other companies?'
Built to Last
is the result of that research: filled with
hundreds of specific examples
and organized into
a coherent framework of practical concepts
that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels,
Built to Last
provides
a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the twenty-first century and beyond
.
