Disappointing *** (3 out of 10)

Well, it talks about the need for strategy, the need for teamwork, the need to define a strategy within 10 weeks, but then it lets you down.

OK, it has its points, but they are very few and very scattered. Absolutely not worth the money or bother to read. It exists better intro books and more deep books. Skip.
