Beyond Entrepreneurship: Turning Your Business Into an Enduring Great Company Reviews


  • Vasilia

    Great book

  • TarasProkopyuk

    Боялся, что данная книга будет во многом повторятся с более поздними книгами Джима Коллинза таких как
    "От хорошего к великому" и
    "Построенные навечно". Но не тут то было. И я рад, что ошибался.

    Эта книга полностью отвечает своему названию. Как и другие книги Коллинза она очень богата множественными принципами построения поистине великого бизнеса и компаний лидеров рынка. В ней много ценного материала, идей, советов, примеров, решений, теории, аналитики и прочего полезного.

    Кто хочет понять, что такое вершина эволюции для компании, как взобраться на свой Эверест и прочно на нём осесть - книга должна стать обязательной к прочтению с остальными вышеуказанными книгами автора.

    Amazing book and really shows the foundational thinking of Collins future work. I liked this right up there with Andy Groves book
    High Output Management and
    First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently.

    This books focuses on companies that are past seed stage, but not quite past 5 years. It is also a fantastic blueprint for brining innovation sectors back into established companies.

    Though Jim Collins went on to write "Good to Great" for a much bigger audience, this book, a precursor, was written specifically for entrepreneurs scaling from a handful of employees to tens, or hundreds. The title of the book thus makes more sense as you complete it: "entrepreneurship" is about discovering a business model that survives harsh market realities, whereas "beyond entrepreneurship" is the creation of a lasting, sustainable company. This is the focus of the book: how to get beyond survival and toward sustainable growth. I read this book because Reed Hastings said it was one of his favorite business books, and when I completed the book, I felt the same way.

  • Mike Ncube

    Another Jim Collins classic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to any entrepreneur that’s looking to take their business to greater heights of excellence. I particularly like the assertion that leaders don’t fit any specific personality profile - some are quiet, some are charismatic, others are shy and so on.
