Summary: The Examples Book

Comment: I'm doing my MBA and the marketing prof. wanted us to read this book. The only claim I can make about the book is, it is a little out-dated. Some of the companies given as examples are either not existing anymore, or are far from where there were in terms of what it is and what it is all about! The book came in exactly the same condition as it was said to be. Thank you Amazon as being the rescue team of our family :)

Summary: Helpful Book

Comment: Helps provide a clear model for analyzing companies and developing corporate strategies. In many ways, it is a more accessible take on Porter's Competitive Strategy.

Summary: Key concept, straightforward and short

Comment: Treacy and Wiersema make the case that the value of a product or service to a customer can be categorized in terms of efficiency (eg. low cost, on-time delivery), innovation (eg. latest technology or fashion) and/or customer intimacy (eg. customized solutions). They go on to argue that delivering each kind of value requires a different organization and culture, and hence the most successful companies are those whose business strategy is focused on delivering a particular kind of value to the customers that appreciate it the most, while remaining competitive in other areas. The analysis is accompanied by case studies of AT&T Universal Card, Intel and Airborne Express. The core idea of the book is valuable and 200 pages is plenty to explore it in detail.

Summary: This should be a text book

Summary: Staying focused on core value proposition

Comment: The book reemphasizes the importance of product or service leadership, customer intimacy, and operational excellence. Organizations willing to be "anything for a buck" will find they loose touch with their customers quickly as they thinly apply talent and resources to serve everyone averagely.

Unity of purpose is also essential; a successful firm must act together to consistently and successfully compete. The book is good reading for managers and marketing professionals that need to review their business focus and the alignment of tasks, processes and competencies supporting that focus. The book offers materials to be used in team exercises.
