Abstract

In his 2001 book, Good to Great (Collins 2001), American business consultant Jim Collins presented a research done on 1,435 good and profitable companies over 40 years, trying to find those that systematically beat the average good companies, and found out 11 companies that exceeded their industries average results by at least three times – the average being 6.9 times greater than their market’s average – and they did it over 15 years in a row. Pretty impressive, if you ask me.
