Compressed Knowledge™

Staying abreast of key business trends is critical to business success. And much of this expertknowledge resides in business books. But the average business book takes 5-10 hours to read. And thus the typical manager reads just one business book a year, stifling his or her access to important knowledge.

The solution: getAbstract Compressed Knowledge business book summaries: All the important points, in just five pages, intelligently compressed by experts, up-to-date and relevant. And readable in only 10 minutes...not 10 hours. The result: Typical getAbstract users download dozens of book summaries each year, greatly increasing their exposure to important business literature.

World's Largest Library of Business Book Summaries

getAbstract offers you the world's largest library of business book summaries, over 5,000 books and growing every month. Other vendors' libraries are just a fraction of getAbstract's. So with getAbstract, if the book is important, it is in the library. This gives your organization both breadth and depth, ensuring that people can quickly find the expert knowledge that is relevant to their jobs. And this means learning increases, and with it, competitiveness.

Not only does getAbstract provide your organization with the world's largest repository of business book summaries, it also provides you with the most comprehensive access to the newest books, hot off the press. In the near future, you will even be able to download titles from the Harvard Business School Press the same day as the book is published.



Whereas alternative vendors may summarize about three books a month (30-50 books a year), getAbstract publishes about 50 summaries every month (over 500 new book summaries each year), 10 times as much as any alternative summary service. This means your team can stay better informed and better equipped to compete in a fast-changing environment. Of course, nobody can read that many titles. But with our advanced tools you are able to select the relevant summaries for you and your employees - and you can be sure that you have not missed any.
