Note:"For the past 25 years, Lawrence Cunningham has written books, articles, and essays about Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, contributing to the vast quantity of literature on the subject. In recent years his writings have focused more on the key takeaways for other business leaders. This work is a selected anthology of these recent writings, looking at the core features of the Buffett model, its costs and benefits, and how it can be adapted and improved for other organizations. It also goes into detail on some of the lesser-known acquisitions that Berkshire has made, which are not covered in other works on the subject. The field of Warren Buffett literature is well-trod but demand for works on Buffett and his company remains strong from business professionals in general and investors in particular; this work is targeted at that audience. This work, like Berkshire Beyond Buffett, focuses more on management advice than investment analysis."-- Provided by publisher.
