Teece's work provides an example of what can be achieved through high-quality analysis ... the thinking manager, as well as the student, will get much out of Teece's hardheaded approach to his subject matter, and there are significant lessons to be learned from the experience of innovating companies. All in all, this is a book to be strongly recommended.
