Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.
But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?
The Study:
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?
The Standards:
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.
The Comparisons:
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?
Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't.
The Findings:
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:
- Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.
- The Hedgehog Concept: (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.
- A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.
- The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.

Great Short Stories of Charles Dickens by Charles Dickens(Paperback)
Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 - 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed unrivaled popularity and fame during his career, and he remains popular, being responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic novels and characters. Many of his writings, with their recurrent concern for social reform, first appeared in magazines in serialized form, a popular format at the time. Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliff-hangers to keep the public looking forward to the next installment. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print. Dickens’ work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose, and unique personalities by writers such as Leo Tolstoy, George Gissing, and G.K. Chesterton.

Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists, whose stories, interpret and critique on the British upper and middle class at the end of the 18th century.
Whether it is the different and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in "Mansfield Park"; the quite strength of Anne Elliot in "Persuasion" succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; or Blending the exuberance of youth with the sharp wit and devastating social criticism in "Love and Friendship", Austen's plots highlight women's traditional dependence on marriage to secure social standing and economic security.
With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published.

Learn to Earn - A Beginner's Guide to The Basics of Investing and Business was written to fulfill two reasons, one was to make sure that the 'rich get richer, poor get poorer' principle doesn't dwell in business for long. The second reason was to let the common people make a living out of associating with the brands they use every day.
Almost every second teenager wears a Nike product to a basketball game. Three out of five families stop at a McDonalds for lunch during a road trip. Nestle is much more than just a household name. and State Bank of India holds the largest number of savings bank accounts in the country. Yet, how many of these customers are investing in their relationships with these brands? More importantly, how many are aware that they can? This book is for those who are not making use of this.
Not only do the authors, Lynch and Rothchild, explain that you don't have to know it all to make it big in business but they also go a step ahead and tell you how to earn out of every sip of Coca Cola you swallow. Learn to Earn - A Beginner's Guide to The Basics of Investing and Business is not just a guide to the basics of investing and business but it is also a guide to setting your own milestones. The book also tells you the best ways of achieving these milestones. This book was published by Simon and Schuster in 1996 and is available in paperback.
