Uses the context of beer to expose George Berkeley’s views on fermented beverages as a medical cure; to inspect Immanuel Kant’s transcendental idealism through beer goggles, and to sort out Friedrich Nietzsche’s simultaneous praise and condemnation of intoxication

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't

James C. Collins

Hardcover, 300 pages.

Very good condition

Former owner’s name inside, otherwise very good condition.

Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind. Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.

It describes how companies transition from being good companies to great companies, and how most companies fail to make the transition.

"Greatness" is defined by Collins by a company that achieves financial performance several multiples better than the market average, over a sustained period.

Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that had made the transition from good to great - and sustained that performance for at least fifteen years.
