In Search of Excellence

Summary: In S. of Excellence is right...and Peters should start by...
Review: While some of the advice in "Excellence" is good standard business practice info, I recently read a very funny new book called "In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters."

It made some excellent points that people should know. For instance, the data in Excellence is faked; "Stupidity" reprints the Busines Week article in which Peter's admits this. Once I read that, I had a hard time taking Excellence seriously.

In Search of Stupidity also points out that practically *all* of the high tech companies Excellence profiles either failed or had major financial problems. In my opinion, the book is a much better look at the real world problems that face companies than Excellence.
