Comments: The book has good information, but has a repetitive feel throughout. I could never guess when the next corporate example was going to be a brand new one for the book or another repeat from an earlier section.  The company might have been re-used for slightly different material or looked at in a new way, but it was too many re-hashes. Overall a good book and it is definitely worth reading as part of the executive business book category.
