Why you should read Strategy Bites Back
You’ve never read a business book quite like this one. Often with tongues planted firmly in cheek, authors Henry Mintzberg, Bruce Ahlstrand and Joe Lampel tap a variety of sources in illuminating the frequently nebulous topic of strategy. The essays, anecdotes and quotes are unique, insightful and sometimes humorous. And the book is not just nontraditional and cute: it also provides plenty of good, solid information on strategy. getAbstract.com recommends that you go ahead and take a big bite. Chew slowly and savor the flavor. It goes down easy.
