5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it, February 28, 2001
By A Customer
Fast Growth gave us some new tools to put together a plan of attack for growth. By using a down-to-earth common-sense approach this book cut through a lot of the gray areas we'd struggled with for years. This was definitely one of the better reads I've had in a long time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamental Business Strategy, May 7, 2001
By Ryan Beasley (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Unquestionably, fundamentals are the key to sustained business success. In today's dynamic and scattershot corporate environment, buzzwords and instant "must-do" paradigms abound. In "Fast Growth", Dr. Weinzimmer has blown through the confusing clouds of "must do's" spun by hypothetical consultants to deliver a product of strategy fundaments focused on additive value creation. Dr. Weinzimmer doesn't stop there, but continues on past strategic identification through all important steps of its implementation. A beautiful combination of the "WHAT" and the "HOW". Surely a gift for every businessperson - from college students through CEOs.
