by Ben Stein and Phil DeMuth

Time the Market! Though the common wisdom on Wall Street says market timing doesn’t work,
the authors sifted through a hundred years of stock market data and discovered that
fundamental valuation metrics clearly show when the market is over- or under-priced.
In fact, timing the market is just a matter of patience - something Wall Street doesn’t
have.

The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth
by Clayton M. Christensen, Michael E. Raynor
In his worldwide bestseller The Innovator’s Dilemma, Christensen explained how industry leaders get blindsided by disruptive innovations precisely because they focus too closely on their most profitable customers and businesses. The Innovator’s Solution shows how companies get to the other side of this dilemma, creating disruptions rather than being destroyed by them.
Drawing on years of in-depth research and illustrated by company examples across many industries, Christensen and Raynor argue that innovation can be a predictable process that delivers sustainable, profitable growth. They identify the forces that cause managers to make bad decisions as they package and shape new ideas—and offer new frameworks to help managers create the right conditions, at the right time, for a disruption to succeed.

by Jim Collins
Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins,
the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver
bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list
of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their
performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette,
Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the
conventional notions of corporate success.
