Abstract 520    $a"Schilit examines cycles of growth and decline in business organizations, focusing on companies that experience rapid growth and analyzing the elements that result in sustainable development rather than a "fast fade." The best measures of success, he says, are strong earnings and stock price appreciation over the long term. He lists several factors contributing to growth and devotes a chapter to each factor. Successful companies have the following characteristics: a specific and differentiated market niche; a sustainable competitive advantage; a superior product or service; a strong cultural foundation; valued customers and employees; high-quality management; and venture capital support. Each point is illustrated by numerous examples from the business world, including such well-known companies as Liz Claiborne, Federal Express, and Home Depot." -- Choice review
