Rating:  Summary: A business book for everyone!! Review: This is definitely the most enjoyable business reading I've ever done. Hamel's style is clear, concise and very persuasive. The author has done an excellent job conveying a sense of urgency for companies to innovate their business models as a way to stay competitive. This is a must read for every engineer interested in business and certainly for every manager!!
Rating:  Summary: OK. Review: I've found that when writers write a non-fiction book with T.S. Eliot styling they usually have nothing of value to say. It's a good book, but too fluffy at times. You should be afraid if your consultant comes into a meeting with this tucked in his arm.
Rating:  Summary: Opportunistic blahblah in Oprah Winfrey style Review: Hamel's ideas are neat, but when reading this keep in mind that his ideas may work for an IBM or Ford. However, in the smaller firm, they'll be met with laughter. I almost believe that what you read here is Hamel's own promotional material for his consulting services. Still, there's a lot of good ideas to keep in a business leaders head - just be careful about taking everything he says as the word of God.
