This book describes one strategic issue: it’s possible to measure anything. Today this is one of most important points for the culture of execution and double this importance wnhe focused on intnagibles.
Rating: 4 / 5
Hubbard’s book refutes the commonly held belief that intangibles are immeasurable. In the book, he provides a clear definition of measurement and presents a simple and easy to follow method of measuring so-called intangibles. When measurement is viewed as a reduction of uncertainty, as Hubbard suggests, we are freed from finding absolute answers. Hubbard also offers several examples of how measuring intangibles has led real-life businesses to make better decisions.
Rating: 4 / 5
Conceptually a good book, It would be better with more examples in the business world such as measuring value of better communincations or value of intellectual property. These are vexing issues today. However, the though process to getting to an answer in this book was worth the price.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book was one of the best books I have ever read. It was informative and very well written. I would use it as a college text book. I look forward to the next book that Doug Hubbard writes.
