Summary: Some good info, but not worth a buy
Comment: Although the book has some interesting points it is not as easy to read as let's say "Good to Great" by Jim Collins.
Moreover, as others have pointed out some(all?) of the information in the book is NOT based on real data. This casts a shaddow of doubt over the entire book.
In short, the book may be worth a glance if you can get the book real cheap, but in my humble opinion north worth buying.
Rating: 1
Summary: In S. of Excellence is right...and Peters should start by...
Comment: searching himself, cause he will be amazed at the lack of excellence. The data he quotes IS FAKED. As in, made up, pulled out of thin air, guessed, etc. And it took him YEARS to admit it. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: You're Better of Reading "In Search of Stupidity"
Comment: While some of the advice in "Excellence" is good standard business practice info, I recently read a very funny new book called "In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters."
It made some excellent points that people should know. For instance, the data in Excellence is faked; "Stupidity" reprints the Busines Week article in which Peter's admits this. Once I read that, I had a hard time taking Excellence seriously.
In Search of Stupidity also points out that practically *all* of the high tech companies Excellence profiles either failed or had major financial problems. In my opinion, the book is a much better look at the real world problems that face companies than Excellence.
