Books with author Paul Collins

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.

The hotly-tipped graphic novel rip-roaring, action-packed new series continues with these titles, full of retro-comic fun.There were three Indestructible Metal Men on board the night the Colossus sank, but only one ever made it back to shore. Metal Man Number Two has been at the Robot City Museum since he emerged from the ocean decades ago and hasn’t powered up since. But now evil millionaire Mr. Furniss has found one of the other Metal Men at the bottom of the ocean and is planning on using him to build an army of indestructible robots. Can Sarah Cross — a fiesty young robot scientist — stop Mr. Furniss before it’s too late?
