The book is based on a landmark ten-year study of successful companies such as IBM, Dayton-Hudson, Dell and American Standard, and international companies that lead their categories, and have continued to be market leaders by setting, bold, outrageous objectives.
The companies and their leaders profiled in the book are constantly in the news and will serve as a good resource for students studying the principles of management.
