"Interesting book with insightful case studies displaying what separates a truly 'visionary company' from middle of the pack comparisons. Collins and Porras do a good job of keeping in view most sides of their hypothesis while presenting practical applications of their findings. The book is very light on the "step by step plan to success" you see in most business and management books; rather, Built to Last focuses more on the cultural aspects of what can drive a company to success."

"Collins explains a comprehensive explanation of a study of "visionary" companies. These companies were compared to a control group of similar companies that have not performed nearly as well. Common factors are presented, along with concrete recommendations. Collins points out the importance of core ideology as a unifying theme for corporate performance. Built to Last is a great presentation of ideas that are later improved upon in "Good to Great." Well worth your time."
