Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters by Richard P. Rumelt

Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters by Richard P. Rumelt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maybe I just expected something different from this book. It seemed to be a collection of case studies. These were mostly based on the author's personal experience, and definitely seemed like good examples of bad and good strategy (or no strategy at all), but that's all they were. Every now and then general rules could be extracted, but it would have been nice to then have everything boiled down to the main principles that constitute a viable strategy, and how these can be applied.

All the examples are with big companies, or governments and the like, so it is sometimes hard to adapt them to more personal use, unless you run a very big organization (or government).
