Jim Collins always leaves you with food for thought. In this book he focuses on companies who have 30 or more years of success and picks apart what makes them so different from companies who survive, but don't thrive. The answers are simple but not easy and have less to do with marketing, products or stragety and more to do with values, culture and risks.

A study of 18 pairs of companies in different product spaces, one of each pair very successful and the other not so much (as judged by returns to stock up to 1990). They find that many assumptions about what makes a company great in the long term are just 'myths'; they list 12 such popular (mis)conceptions, e.g. a charismatic leader is required (not so!), or there has to be constant churn (not really!). Great read if you are suddenly lnded with a senior role in any concern.

Some pretty decent observations and perceptions, but otherwise a bit subjective when it came to companies being used as examples. That being said, that accusation could rightly be leveled at tons of books, so I'm not sure how fair that is. Still, recommended and a fairly solid effort.
