I started reading this book with much higher expectations and I guess that was something which didn't help.
The book focuses on the idea of management innovation and using 3 case studies (Whole foods, Gore, and Google) describes how management practices need changing from the Weberian style to something unknown. The discussion is interesting however, the author (Gary Hamel) seems to go on repeating himself so many times that it becomes cumbersome. Must say that it's something good in a way that the message sticks but still at times I just lost interest in it. If you just read the case studies chapters the gist of the book is known.
Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5
