Summary: Finally, the whole picture.
Comment: Whether looking in from the outside or evaluating an internal business unit, it is easy to forget that a business is a holistic undertaking made of many parts. From manufacturing to marketing, these parts impact each other and are neglected at the manager's peril. Mr. Scott's presentation takes the full view into account and provides a vauable framework for evaluating the elements and the role they play.
Rating: 5
Summary: Clear, Concise, and Comprehensive
Comment: As a general manager, I found Mr. Scott's work excellent. In a clear and comprehensive manner, he gets at the essence of value creation. His work is a good read for any manager looking to step back from the daily urgency of his operations and regain a perspective on the big picture issues that drive strategy.

Summary: Keeping it simple
Comment: I have spent hours pouring over business texts as part of my studies and it is only recently that it occured to me that a pre-condition for business writing is verbosity. Where one word will do it seems that the norm is to write 10! I wouldn't mind if they were wise, witty or otherwise held my interest but for the most part seem to fit the catageory of "padding".
Value Drivers suited me very well because it seeme to highlight the pertinent issues quickly and accurately without going into unnecessary detail. The models introduced have been relevant to a number of the modules on my course including marketing and finance as well as strategy. Since I am interested in marketing then the case study examples given have also been relevant.
In a nutshell a fine example of brevity, clarity and precision. One small niggle. More illustrations, please. Pictures paint etc. My course load would reduce if more books were written in this way!
