| In this age of Enron debacles and WorldCom chicanery, The Art Of Original Thinking is very highly recommended reading for all business executives, managers, consultants, and business theory students for its comprehensive presentation how to effect beneficial and principled changes to the art of doing business. Finkelstein investigates the roots of corporate debacles and reaches a surprising conclusion: Even comparing companies that have nothing in common, the causes of such failures are identical. Just as quick fixes were at the root of problems suffered by corporations described in the book, shortcuts in trying to understand these debacles just won't cut it. |
