Amazing book and really shows the foundational thinking of Collins future work. I liked this right up there with Andy Groves book High Output Management and First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently.This books focuses on companies that are past seed stage, but not quite past 5 years. It is also a fantastic blueprint for brining innovation sectors back into established companies.
Another Jim Collins classic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to any entrepreneur that’s looking to take their business to greater heights of excellence. I particularly like the assertion that leaders don’t fit any specific personality profile - some are quiet, some are charismatic, others are shy and so on.

Timeless concepts & practical advice for applying them, but the examples didn't age well
Although written in the early 90's, I believe the concepts provided are still relevant today. This book communicates very simply and easily how a business can turn into a great company, by focusing on 5 key areas; leadership, a company's vision, creating a strategy, being innovative & tactical excellence. I found this book didn't provide 'new' concepts but provided a deeper perspective on known concepts, which is rarely communicated within books.

Found this book very valuable for my small team of new leaders trying to create a vision for the first time.

Боялся, что данная книга будет во многом повторятся с более поздними книгами Джима Коллинза таких как "От хорошего к великому" и "Построенные навечно". Но не тут то было. И я рад, что ошибался.Эта книга полностью отвечает своему названию. Как и другие книги Коллинза она очень богата множественными принципами построения поистине великого бизнеса и компаний лидеров рынка. В ней много ценного материала, идей, советов, примеров, решений, теории, аналитики и прочего полезного.Кто хочет понять, что та...

Though Jim Collins went on to write "Good to Great" for a much bigger audience, this book, a precursor, was written specifically for entrepreneurs scaling from a handful of employees to tens, or hundreds. The title of the book thus makes more sense as you complete it: "entrepreneurship" is about discovering a business model that survives harsh market realities, whereas "beyond entrepreneurship" is the creation of a lasting, sustainable company. This is the focus of the book: how to get beyond su...
