Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies and studied each in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day -- as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: "What makes the truly exceptional companies different from the comparison companies and what were the common practices these enduringly great companies followed throughout their history?" Filled with hundreds of specific examples and organized into a coherent framework of practical concepts that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels, Built to Last provides a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the 21st century and beyond.

Excerpt from Sea-Tracks of the Speejacks Round the WorldWell enough do I remember when those words had the power to thrill me. The anticipated, romantic pic ture which arose in my mind at the very thought of guiding our own little boat through uncharted seas to the music of phosphorescent waters!I could visualize the glories of flying fish; the por poises running races with us, leaping out of the water, laughing at us in the way porpoises have. I could almost sense the fascination of the ocean's hidden em pire.I could think, and did, of the long days at sea; sunny, quiet, dreamy, pleasant days, when we would steadily glide along the wide and Charming Pacific through tropic islands, along coral reefs. There would be so many days, so I thought, as I imagined out the whole thing in advance, which could be devoted to pleasant and improving pastimes - reading, writing, sewing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
