This is brilliant! Good writing and interesting conclusions. Kleiner may from time to time be accused of being a bit verbose, but so can I. The Core Group Theory is probably (in my opinion) one of the most fundamental theories in management in this decade (granted, we have another five years to go, but anyway)! What strikes me most, is that while you read it, you feel like everything is extremely true and it explains a lot (the tests are well-balanced as well, even though some are a bit American in outlook).

MBA students as well as MBA teachers can benefit greatly from reading this book, as it gives an edge against those that have not read it. Practioners and consultants would also benefit greatly from reading this. OK, I'll stop, or you'll think I've gone insane, but this is really a very good book.

In short, I believe this is a classical and important work and a must read. Recommended reading with a big R. Enjoy.
