Book Review: The Resilient Enterprise: Overcoming Vulnerability for Competitive Advantage

To me, this book by Yossi Sheffi was an eye-opener, not so much for it's academic value, but for it's "entertainment" value, "entertainment" as in "stop-you-in-your-tracks-and-make-you-think"-value. Excellently written, The Resilient Enterprise: Overcoming Vulnerability for Competitive Advantage does not necessarily provide concrete solutions for your own business, but it showcases how other companies, successfully or not, handled various crisis situations. Sheffi's analysis of how and why things go wrong or right is spot on and to the point. This is a good story-book, but it's a story-book with a message. Keep it on your desk at all times, or even better, keep a second copy on your nightstand...enjoy!
