El Pequeño Libro De Las Grandes Decisiones : Cincuenta Modelos Para El Pensamiento Estratégico (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Disappointing. Basically, the book has no substance to it. You get presented with a number of ideas (I think calling them that is better than calling them models because some just aren't) and then next to nothing as to what you would do with it. Now I knew the book wasn't nearly big enough to cover 50 models in detail and that is OK. I read on models, thinking, and the like all the time so the detail wasn't super important to me, rather I was looking for something that would be new to me or at least that I could say this book was a general reference - it isn't. Even at that I was going to give it 3 stars for what it is until i started to find bits like "Taleb’s black swan thesis is not really a model, but a rejection of the cause-and-effect principle." WHAT?? I'll grant you its not really a model, although. . . that is what the book's title says it is about. But does the author(s) really think Nassim Taleb rejects the idea of cause and effect? Um, go back and read The Black Swan, or Fooled By Randomness, or anything else he has ever written or said. You will never hear him make any such claim. For the author's mistake and/or lack of knowledge the book drops to a 2. Possibly it deserves worse. -Notable models:1- how to improve yourself:- project portfolio 2-How to understand yourself -The Swiss cheese model-The super memo model3- How to understand others better-Prisoners dilemma experiment and model -Why faith is replacing knowledge4-How to improve others:-Situational leadership -The team model -Role playingBetter late than never but never late is better.
