Summary: Experience Shows
Comment: This book confirmed the experiences I had in my previous jobs regarding company inefficiencies. On the positive side it taught me how to manage better, what fads to avoid, and how to motivate my employees. Best of all, this book avoids all the usual platitudes of the typical management advice literature.

Rating: 4
Summary: What I liked as an investor.
Comment: As an active investor, I found this book extremely interesting.
In very simple terms it explains, why companies become less
efficient with growth; why most mergers fail, and what is really
wrong with the Japanese economy. A real eye opener!

Summary: Finally - An author who undersdtands "smaller is better"
Comment: The Ideal Enterprise is astonishing reading because it successfully attacks so many sacred cows of the contemporary business world. Smaller is better, vertical integration may not be all it's cracked up to be, simple geometrical relationships may govern complex business sytems in ways similar to those regulating biological systems. I am a lay reader, an artist by profession, but I wish I had read this book twenty years ago! My investment decisions might have been smarter if I had. It should be required reading.
