Business books are entertainment, not strategic tools

A better title to this would have been “MOST Business Books are Entertainment, Not Strategic Tools.”

Certainly, there are the fad books that are useless, but some are quite good and useful. In addition to Good to Great, I’d also include Crossing the Chasm, the Innovator’s Dilemma, Positioning, and The Culting of Brands.

The fact that the author recommends four books at the end shows he really doesn’t believe his own title.

I get it and don’t disagree but isn’t this being too literal? At the limit, isn’t this expecting author to be overly precious with the title? I mean, I could as well ask author to state a precise statistic like “93.76% of business books are entertainment”
