What I liked about the ideal enterprise,
By F. DAVID FARNSWORTH (Dover, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ideal Enterprise: Managing by the Law of the Sphere (Hardcover)
This funny and often witty book reminded me of one of my favorite books by N. C. Parkinson entitled "Parkinson's Law". I enjoyed every minute of Baumann's book and I learned a lot to boot.

Experience Shows,
By Paul Bartlet (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ideal Enterprise: Managing by the Law of the Sphere (Hardcover)
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.

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!
