书评

From Publishers Weekly

Is there a more timely topic for a business book than brilliant

executives running their companies into the ground? Dartmouth

business professor Finkelstein has been on the case for six years,

researching how otherwise intelligent people can manage to botch

things up. Here, he dredges up old corporate ***ups (like R. J.

Reynolds's smokeless cigarettes) and new ones, too (WorldCom and

Tyco, among others). There's a certain amount of schadenfreude

involved, as the author crisply and incisively picks apart disaster

after disaster, but the less*** drawn from this lengthy study are,

for the most part, vastly unsurprising. While each company profiled

tends to fail in its own way, there are common traits among top

execs, such as a propensity to eliminate "anyone who isn't 100

percent behind them" and to "underestimate major obstacles." While

Finkelstein suggests avoiding such destructive behaviors, the truth

is, sometimes it's human nature to be blind to one's own

weaknesses. And that's a mystery no book can fully

dec***truct.

Business Week, June 9, 2003

" Casting off standard management fare, Finkelstein has raised

eyebrows with his unconventional research.... less*** are more

profound say students."

Financial Times, May 12, 2003

"Sydney Finkelstein...[conducted]...the largest and most

comprehensive study of business failure...The result is a treasure

trove of blunders."

The Economist, May 31, 2003

"Watch the *** of corporate disasters that passes

through...'Truly colossal blunders don't come in isolation, they

come in clusters.'"

The London Times, June 5, 2003

"...managers might be better advised to contemplate how companies

fail...Finkelstein identifies 'seven habits of spectacularly

unsuccessful people...'"
