Dr. Harry Nystrom obviously spent a lifetime of research in developing the theories presented in this book. This is the first book that describes the differences, from an organizational context, between firms that focus on commodoties versus market innovations (sand and gravel vs. software, for example) between firms that have relationship marketing requirements versus commodity (for example, attorneys versus waste hauling), and between firms that have an independent appoach to market and technological innovation and those that have a synergistic approach (for example, plastics versus space travel.) This book provides better insight to the factors of organizational success than any other exploration of the subject--from a theoretical viewpoint. However, the book is NOT an easy read. To thoroughly glean the richness of the knowledge in this book requires several readings. The organizational models developed here provide the same quality of models as the psychological models of Maslow and others do for the field of psychology. Unfortunately, this wealth of knowledge and beauty of model building is partly lost to those who do not give this book its due--multiple readings.
