“What leads to democray and consolidation”

As the title suggests, Linz and Stepan examine democratic transition and consolidation. Linz and Stepan argue that a democratic transition is completed when the relevant actors agree on the “the rules of the game.” These rules include those regarding…Read more

“loose analysis”

When reading this book, two concerns immediately struck me. First, on what were Linz and Stepan basing their analysis? They provide definitions about consolidated democracy, types of authoritarian regimes, and the effects of various types of transitions,…Read more

“On conditions for democracy”

Having read this book, I understand why Linz has gained international reputation. (As an example, he was made honorary doctor at The Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Oslo, Norway, 2000.) This book is written in an engaging way, with lots of…Read more

“How to move quickly enough to stay ahead of the competition “in an age of tumultuous change and growing uncertainties””

I have read all of John Kotter’s books and reviewed most of them. In my opinion, no other business thinker in recent years has made a greater contribution to our understanding of what continues to be a highly competitive, tumultuous global marketplace. In…Read more

“Kotter’s new book about agility in times of turbulence: Too much rehash of some of his previous thinking”

The book is a well-argued case for the need for strategic agility in times of business turbulence. It has also an interesting concept of a ‘dual operating system’, namely an agile network-type of organizational structure working in concert with the…Read more

Very good insight on how to view the innovation process. However this is marketed as a new edition, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. Examples do not reflect changes in industry since the original was written.So if you read the original…Read more
