Good to Great (by Jim Collins Best Selling Business Book) & paperback

Description: Description Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't is a management book where author Jim Collins takes a look at solid data on some of the biggest companies in the world and talks about how an average company can become a great company. Summary Of The Book In Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't, the author uses fully researched data to form conclusions on why companies fail to transition between being average to being great while others succeed. For the purpose of the book, being great has been defined as financial performance of companies that far exceed the norms set by others. Jim Collins created the concept of this book after writing another management study that talked about the methodology of infusing a company with the DNA it needs to achieve greatness. This book talks about what a company can do when it isn’t born with great DNA. For the purpose of the study, the author used a team of researchers who reportedly studied 6,000 articles, transcribed 2,000 pages from interviews and also generated 384 megabytes of data during a five-year project.
