Books with the title "The Ultimate Book of …" tend to be "airport books" – readable and disposable. They may be interesting but they normally have little depth. (This is not necessarily a criticism – I like "a good read" as much as the next person.) This one is a surprisingly useful book offering a good introduction to a range of ideas and concepts that all claim to offer some lasting business benefit. Starting with action learning and moving through to the virtual organisation this book provides an overview and assesses their credibility in terms of practical application.
