Disappointing *** (3 out of 10)

Classical school-literature, but it includes some interesting articles (like Collins and Porras), but mostly it consists of manure.

Of course, I am biased, as I had it while doing my MBA, and time allows some of the articles to grow on you, but it still mostly stinks.
