Synopsis
Find out what makes the truly exceptional companies different from other companies. ""Built to Last" . . . is one of the most eye-opening business studies since "In Search of Excellence."--"USA Today.", Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies and studied each in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day -- as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: "What makes the truly exceptional companies different from the comparison companies and what were the common practices these enduringly great companies followed throughout their history?" Filled with hundreds of specific examples and organized into a coherent framework of practical concepts that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels, Built to Last provides a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the 21st century and beyond.

  • Essential material for all business inclined people.

    Built to Last by James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras is an essential guide for any new or old organization looking to get started or revitalize its fundamental foundation and business practices. Assembled as a result of a six year long study examining eighteen remarkable and long-lasting companies in relation to each companies top "market" competitor, this book genuinely shows what distinguishes truly visionary companies from the rest. This books begins by briefly describing what visionary companies were chosen for the study and why. For those interested, visionary companies included organizations such as Wal-Mart, American Express, IBM, and Walt Disney, just to name a few. According to Collins and Porras, a visionary company can neither be founded on a single great idea nor rely on an ...

  • Great insight. Highly recommended.

    This book was written by James Collins, who also wrote "Good to Great". Both are excellent books with great examples and insights into the workings of successful corporations!

  • Build to Last

    I bought the book "Built to Last" because it was required for my class in college (California State University - Sacramento) for my "The Management of Contemporary Organizations" classes (HROB 101). I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I'll just say that it is kind of good so far; but still kind of early to really say how the book is.

  • Built to Last

    I bought it for class and it did the job. The book was very insightful and gave a lot of useful information on why companies have succeeded or failed.
