Abstract

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness — why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers.

Abstract

Bring on the Books for Everybody is an engaging assessmentof the robust popular literary culture that has developed in theUnited States during the past two decades. Jim Collins describeshow a once solitary and print-based experience has become anexuberantly social activity, enjoyed as much on the screen as onthe page. Fueled by Oprah's Book Club, Miramax film adaptations,superstore bookshops, and new technologies such as the Kindledigital reader, literary fiction has been transformed intobest-selling, high-concept entertainment. Collins highlights theinfrastructural and cultural changes that have given rise to aflourishing reading public at a time when the future of the bookhas been called into question. Book reading, he claims, has notbecome obsolete; it has become integrated into popular visualmedia. Collins explores how digital technologies and the convergence ofliterary, visual, and consumer cultures have changed what counts asa "literary experience" in phenomena ranging from lush filmadaptations such as The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love to the customer communities at Amazon.Central to Collins's analysis and, he argues, to contemporaryliterary culture, is the notion that refined taste is now easilyacquired; it is just a matter of knowing where to access it andwhose advice to trust. Using recent novels, he shows that theredefined literary landscape has affected not just how books arebeing read, but also what sort of novels are being written forthese passionate readers. Collins connects literary bestsellersfrom The Jane Austen Book Club and Literacy andLonging in L.A. to Saturday and The Line of Beauty, highlighting their depictions of fictional worldsfilled with avid readers and their equations of reading with cultivated consumer taste.
