Why you should read Business Beyond the Box

Also of note are the techniques that he describes for cultivating creative thinking within a business. While much of the remainder will seem like a re-hash of basic problem-solving and common-sense creative thinking methodology, getAbstract.com nevertheless recommends this book for its motivational message: Think big.
