I have authored a number of books.  My latest book entitled High Performance Companies: Successful Strategies fron the World's Top Achievers has been recetly published by John Wiley and Sons.   In the book I,

1. Offer a set of practical principles which can be used by companies of different sizes (small or large) in a variety of contexts including different countries and industries,   
2. Deploy a reader friendly approach by grounding the proposed principles in detailed case studies of companies from different parts of the world including US, Europe and Asia,
3. Go beyond the often-quoted examples to identify less well-known, yet successful, companies such as YKK, Fanuc, Tiger Balm, Tupperware, Lincoln Electric and SAS Institute, among others.

The book is available from a variety of sources including:
