Content
Sull and Eisenhardt suggest that a limited set of simple rules must be applied to solve specific problems in complex situations. This thesis, which emphasizes "short cut strategies", is the best way for businesses to solve problems. The book illustrates this with many case studies, ranging "from medical care to college football to complexity theory."
Critical reception
A review in the Sydney Morning Herald suggested the book was "neither a silver bullet nor a self-help book." However, the review welcomed the vulgarization of their business ideas.
