• quite easily one of the best works in strategy
  Quite easily one of the best works in strategy which helps sharpen thinking on key aspects like core competencies, strategic architecture, roadmaps to competing effectively in the future. This is a classic.

• Still relevant
  Although, written in 90's, this book provides an excellent insight in to planning and architecting the enterprises of future which is still relevant. Take an example of GEICO or Progressive of the Insurance world. Take a look at how they built an innovative distribution channels and made it their core competency. While their competition was comforted with old agency distribution model and now competition is trying to duplicate their core competency instead of thinking about future.

• good book
  Like every business book, it has at least 100 pages more than what would have been necessary to get the idea.
  

• Don't Ignore the Lessons in this Book...
  "Gary Hamel is one of the brightest corporate strategist on the planet. And C.K. Prahalad is a brilliant business mind from the University of Michigan. Together, they have produced a profound book that will revitalize many companies. Those firms and organizations that ignore the new strategic architecture will be like `the deer caught in the headlights'... they will be doomed like many of the companies that have already disappeared from the ranks of the Fortune 1000."
