How the Mighty Fall is a good book to read if you want to understand how successful businesses have missed opportunities and ultimately failed. The case studies are quite detailed. You get to the moment of failure, the opportunity lost.
Jim Collins explains why good companies fall and how leaders react. I found it fascinating and relevant.
This book is relevant to newsagents because of its coverage of businesses dealing with disruption to their traditional model – like we are. The big business examples are relevant because the challenges are common to us.
