Built To Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies

James Collins and Jerry Porras have examined eighteen exceptional and long-lasting companies, including General Electric, Boeing, Disney, Hewlett-Packard and Procter & Gamble, and compared each with one of its closest but less successful competitors, in order to discover just what has given it the edge over its rivals.

The new final chapter looks at the implications of the internet - Built to Flip.
