Title: Profit From the Core : Growth Strategy in an Era of Turbulence by Chris Zook, James Allen, James Allen ISBN: 1-57851-230-1 Publisher: Harvard Business School Press Pub. Date: February, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $27.50 |

Rating: 5
Summary: Dell has applied this book idea very well
Comment: This is a very good book for anyone interest in business strategy. Especially reading it with Creative Destruction. One company which has applied this strategy very well is Dell. Its strategy to stay at the core in PC while adjaceny expansion into Printer, PDA ... etc. It stated in Businessweek that it is entering into the low-end (maybe ignorant by market leader) market for market share first. It is similar to a point mentioned in the book. I guess it has a lot to do with Rollin (one of the head of Dell)
Rating: 1
Summary: These guys really messed up
Comment: This book is clearly overrated -- very simplistic and nothing more than a marketing tool for would-be customers. The book's fatal flaw is probably its praise of Enron and its ability to grow from its "core"
Rating: 5
Summary: Very good
Comment: Maybe not revolutionary, but definitely making a very clear point that is all too often forgotten by even the biggest companies.
Very useful for those making business plans or those reviewing business strategy. It can definitely help determine how to go build a business and what to focus on to make a business successful.
I found this book truly worth its 5 star rating.
