INTEL INSIDE, this is what I would say about the book. Andrew S Groove, President CEO of Intel has worked on crisis management strategy in this book, which he calls "Inflection Point". To me he has been not very lucid in bringing in front what can be an inflection point. He has touched upon the Michel porter's - Forces model to illustrate how forces would effect business and would bring about an inflection point, which if not managed successfully would lead to devastation.
While reading this book, I strongly feel that Groove has taken much of pages in reaching to make reader understand Inflection Point. I would have expected more of strategy kind of bulk reading in the book.
Frankly even after reading book I am not able to relate the title to the whole story Groove has taken us thru. You would not believe but I still went inside my dictionary to see if Groove has some other meaning of paranoid.
He has taken the illustrations of Wal-Mart, shipping, privatisation, as instances of Infection points. I completely agree with him, but I would have expected him to analyse how the persecutory beliefs concerning perceived threats by these changes should have been dealt. And a deep more analysis of what has happened, which I think he has done only in case of bringing Intel story of exiting the memory business in front of readers.
Some Positives: definitely Groove has taken the readers thru the mental stage of the top management during time of crisis. At this time of recession this book is a must read as would give some thing to ponder to top management that whether this is or not a point of inflection for them.
Thats why I said it is INTEL INSIDE.
In all 1.4 STARS
