Some interesting concepts, weird technology discussions

I think as far as understanding transformational leadership, this book points in interesting (and accurate) directions. How much can the ideas be adapted is a different matter, but they are important enough to merit the reading and discussion of the book

Best management book I've read since a long time.

Great book by Ackoff! I was really really close on giving it 5 stars, but it's age is slightly starting to show in a couple places.

Great book for all managers. Thanks Dr. Khoram -my great professor- for introducing this book. He's been appreciated by Mr. Ackoff for his participation as well.

Great parts about structure. Some obsolete stuff in the end.
