This book came recommended by a former coworker, so I picked it up at the local library.
I'm still scratching my head how the authors squeezed over 200 pages expanding on a simple thesis: innovation is good, even when you think you are doing well. You can pretty much fit everything I gleaned from the book on a fortune cookie. O'Reilly fills the rest of the pages with "case studies", really just drawn out and boring narratives about certain companies that employed his principles (and did well) & others that ignored them and floundered. Except that he wrote the book in the 90s, and many of the companies he disparages (e.g., Apple) are now considered innovative leaders and vice-versa. It goes to show you that you can find anecdotal evidence to support whatever thesis you want. I suppose you could make the same critique about most "business" books, but at least others I have come across are more compelling - Or at least tell more interesting stories.
