Review: I thought the book was a fascinating read and for a business book an easy read. Perfect for a Christmas present for somebody who enjoys business books. Its tells an interesting story and leaves you with a lot to think about. Even after reading it. Its still hard to tell where it all went wrong for GE. Thats not to say after the read you aren't left with your own opinion of where it went wrong. You are. So if you do like talking about books you read, this one leaves you with lots of topics to explore.

Review: The authors have achived their primary goal, to summarize the history of this great Amrican company, its rise to proeminence under the leadership of Jack Welsch, and its decline in the last 20 years, to its current status, a pale shadow : too much financial risk, too much leverage, too much diversification, too opportunitic in its management, etc. among other sins of conglomerization. BUT the book is also somewhat disappointing : not much beyond a good summary of old pages of the Wall Street Journal, but no new, original insight into the difficulties of good management.
