Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Heart of Business
Herman Suryoutomo · 1994
52/100
👎 Skip It
The values-first approach to business leadership still resonates — Drucker and Peters are still worth citing — but this 1994 book carries no critical documentation, an unverifiable author profile, and three decades of business landscape change that will have dated its specifics significantly. The argument is probably sound; the evidence that this particular book makes it better than similar titles simply isn't there.
