Books, Books, Books....

Books I'm reading

Before I started the MBA program I used to read quite a bit....so during the summer term I had some time to catch up on some books I had been wanting to read. I just finished The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman and loved the book. I highly recommend this to any MBA student or anybody that is in the tech field. Friedman's views are quite astounding and he is not advocating outsourcing by any means or in all cases. Before I started the book, alot of people gave me comments about how the books is all about outsourcing, but its not. Globalization 2.0 is here and is taking place as I type this. As more and more people are connected, companies and individuals are leveraging knowledge across the globe to further their endeavours and dreams.

Now that I finished his book, I moved onto Who Says Elephants Can't Dance? by Louis Gertsner, the ex-CEO of IBM. I'm not very far but this one came recommended by some colleagues at work. I'll post up a review after I finish this one....but so far it's pretty interesting.

I recommend Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" as well.
