5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Integration with Strategy, Easy to Implement, March 10, 2000
This review is from: Performance Measurement and Control Systems for Implementing Strategy: Text and Cases (Paperback)
I rarely get excited about textbooks, but this particular treatment of strategy, balancing leading and lagging indicators with a view of past, present and future, was enlightening. This book should be a "must read" for any mid- or senior- level manager. It shows how to make your decisions more fact-based and less 'art'. With the coming of age of "management of knowledge" this is a great tool to use to improve business processes. Definitely worth every single penny spent - but especially if you are interested in learning tangible methods!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic, March 2, 2004
By 
Adrian W Ness (MANLY, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Performance Measurement and Control Systems for Implementing Strategy: Text and Cases (Paperback)
WITHOUT QUESTION this book is the best practical business text I have ever read. Thank you Robert for unequivocally adding value - in a meaningful and tangible way that can be taken to the market and capitalised on. It's books like this that inspire me to invest (what would otherwise be leisure) time in learning & continuing my education.

The book is clear, concise, comprehensive & practical, and helped wrap together many general strategy concepts into an effective action based set of implementation tools. VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
