I'll tell you ahead of time this is not a book that you'll read just once. I am on my third go 'round with it. It is great, but requires a LOT OF THINKING.

"It is great, but requires a LOT OF THINKING."

The most difficult task in America, TODAY!!!

Also, the most demanded task since the American Taliban, (the EnvironMentalCases in control of Government Agencies) now rule with an iron hand!!!

IMO, the best way to absorb what is in the book is to apply its principles. Try a series of successive thought experiments about how a problem might be managed or the sprecial attributes of a property might be marketed. Then go through the steps of visualizing the day to day operations and how those would be managed. Put yourself in the office selling the products and discussing production problems or setting aside funds for R&D projects. Think about justifying investments and how that process might be automated. It's a lot of fun.

I had never considered it, but it might be interesting to create a series of test cases or exercises for readers in textbook format.
