 James Collins and Jerry Porras have examined eighteen exceptional and long-lasting companies- which have an average age of nearly 100 years and have outperformed the stock market by a factor of fifteen since 1926 - and studied each one in direct comparison with one of its competitors. Much of what they discovered in their five-year research project surprised and even sometimes shocked them. One thing above all became evident: 'Just about anyone can be a key protagonist in building and extraordinary business institution'. Packed with hundreds of specific examples, Built to Last provides a blueprint for building organization will prosper into the twenty-first century and beyond.
