Recommendation

This well-considered argument by Wall Street analysts Scott M. Davis, Rob Wertheimer and Carter Copeland favors traditional business practices: hard work, humility, great systems, constant improvements and an amply rewarded workforce. The authors provide a compelling case for the fundamentals by citing companies they know well. Their lessons – from avoiding arrogance and complacency to seeking the highest returns on invested capital – prove worthwhile no matter where you work, whether you run a software shop or build aircraft.

Take-Aways

  • The media and investors focus too much on market share and disruption.
  • General Electric (GE) exemplifies good and bad practices.
  • Boeing prioritized profits over safety.
