Rezensionen
"Bei den Autoren handelt es sich durchwegs um 'alte Hasen' der Branche, die sich nicht scheuen, ihren Einschätzungen und Gedanken eine von ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen geprägte Färbung zu verpassen." Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 30./31.07.2005

"Die Herausgeber hatten insgesamt mit Autoren wie Tom Sommerlatte, David Maister u.v.a. eine glückliche Hand bei der Auswahl, wozu man gratulieren kann." Unternehmensberater, 03/2005
