Book Reviews of Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis (2nd Edition)
Book Review: A book for young executives
Summary: 5 Stars
Venturing into big corporations is sometimes an obscure science. You do not understand how or why things get done. This book helps you understand the intricacies of organizations. It starts with the usual logical model, goes on elaborating until it develops a model, which does a better job explaining the "unexplainable" actions of organizations. The Cuban Missile Crises is the vehicle to illustrate all three models. The reading of the first edition was a bit dull, but got better in the second edition.
