Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars

Clever analogy with great insights
The judo analogy is a very clever way to explore how small companies can defeat large companies. I particularly liked the ideas of the "puppy dog ploy", push when pulled, and the concept of leverage. I highly recommend this book for managers facing big, powerful ...
