The Lords of Strategy: The Secret Intellectual History of the New Corporate World
I had to abort at p. 32. (I also read the last chapter, "And Where Was Strategy When the Global Financial System Collapsed?" and the Coda.) This was disappointing. I was hoping for something along the lines of Dangerous Company: The Consulting Powerhouses and the Businesses They Save and Ruin, which was vibrant and really pulled the reader in. I do want to read an engrossing and well-written history of corporate strategy-making, but this isn't it. Kiechel's writing style is either bland and lifeless, or bizarrely metaphorical:
"Old man corporate river, he just keeps rolling along.
But storm clouds were beginning to gather over the lotus-eaters' company picnic."
