Publisher’s Summary
Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies and studied each in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from their very beginnings to the present day — as start-ups, as midsize companies, and as large corporations. Throughout, the authors asked: “”What makes the truly exceptional companies different from the comparison companies and what were the common practices these enduringly great companies followed throughout their history?”” Filled with hundreds of specific examples and organized into a coherent framework of practical concepts that can be applied by managers and entrepreneurs at all levels, Built to Last provides a master blueprint for building organizations that will prosper long into the 21st century and beyond

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Finally it’s an Audio book”
Jim Collins and his Co Author do a fantastic job painting a picture and promoting the principles that lead to an enduring company. if you are a young manager or business owner this book along with Jim’s other books are must haves!— dominic, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Great Analysis Of The Nature of Organizations”
The title says it all here really.I view this as a great analysis of the nature og great organizations.
The Authors also tilt toward the utility mindset, and are not afraid to look at alle sides of the topic they aim to clarify – What makes the difference between an organization or community that is built to last. Those with a correct definition of vision, a clear vision, a collective why/purpose, and B-hags as they call it in the book!
Pile that on top of my own findings which shines through the book, though it is not directly addressed – and you get the framework for a successful person/group/organization/community
I recommend this book.
