    虽然是60年代的好多事,但是依然有洞见。比如2D那些事,对现在3D打印机也有启示。看着玩吧。反正insight这些东西就是要被反复提醒嘛。02-09

    查理芒格说过,如若资本主义没有失败就好像宗教没有地狱。作者用非常诙谐幽默而又洗练的表达,绘声绘色地讲述了12个精妙绝伦的商业冒险故事。给我的启发主要有两点。第一,顺势而为很重要,尤其在商业领域。第二,在此前提下,个人的努力对于企业的成功发展是必不可少的(人的因素很重要)。最喜欢通用电气和小猪店的故事。通用的故事在企业组织课上仔细讲过,但跳开模型从布鲁克斯笔下娓娓道来时真是让人啼笑皆非。小猪店的主人Saunders是个不折不扣的fighter,几次跌倒,几次站起来。对花街的那段polemics简直让人笑爆。其他的故事也都非常非常喜欢。以后有空也想积累人脉和时间写一些类似的故事,有太多有趣的故事值得这个时代去挖掘和了解。11-10

    12个小故事,看清楚商业社会,不仅仅business,还有法律条款等等,文笔很清晰。one free bite很令人思考,尤其是法官释法再到如果涉及国外公司又当如何呢?11-17
