4.0 out of 5 stars
Diverse Information, Good Read,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Managing Uncertainty (Harvard Business Review Paperback Series) (Paperback)
Very laboriously written. This book uses an analytic approach in dissecting uncertainty. I used this book for two reasons - uncertainty with my own career and uncertainty with the economy, which indirectly affect my career. Reading this book offered me a perspective to look deeper and identify the correct paths for the different types of uncertainty I was facing.

This review is from: Harvard Business Review on Managing Uncertainty (Harvard Business Review Paperback Series) (Paperback)
Why shoudn't we read the original books on the subject, the uncertainty ? If we are managers under pressure and without sufficient time, a similar collection is really useful. Of course, some auctors should be considered in total(Hamel & Prahalad), but this book offers a good insight on the matter. And some explications about companies strategies (competition based on the innovation rythm, for instance, in the last article)
