—Booklist Another masterpiece by the bestseller Good to Great author Collins:ing the grand blueprint for excellent companies to transcend into great companies. Collins and his team of 21 spent five years researching, and only 11 companies—such as Gillette and Bank of America—achieved a leap from excellent performance to great performance, while comparing them with those that did not make the leap to analyze the internal mechanisms behind this transformation. Collins believes that "if adopted and implemented seriously, almost all companies can greatly improve their performance and even become great companies," because the answer to "transcending from good to great" is "not limited by time or geography and is universally applicable to any organization." Collins and his research team spent 10.5 person-years reading and systematically organizing 6,000 articles, recording more than 2,000 pages of interview content, creating 384 gigabytes of computer data, and collecting all articles from 28 companies over the past 50 years—or even earlier—to conduct extensive qualitative and quantitative analyses, resulting in astonishing and inspiring answers on how to transform companies from good to great.
