The Washington Post recently published a list of books that shaped America. Made me think of writing about books that have shaped American business. Perhaps I’ll follow-up with more rational when I have more time. But here is a start to your summer reading.
The first book that comes to mind is Clay Christensen’s classic – The Innovator’s Dilemma.
Last week I was in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and couldn’t help but be reminded of Barbarians at the Gate at each turn I took in the city.
I’d probably add Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat, Gladwell’s The Tipping Point, Michael Porter’s Competitive Strategy, Stephen Covey’s book, Surowieki’s The Wisdom of Crowds, and a few books from Peter Drucker.
