How many people have read the book titled "7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy" by Hamilton Helmer?


Would you recommend the book?

Is it one of the great business strategy books, alongside "The Innovator's Dilemma"?

Here's the collapsible outline that I re-visit when I'm thinking about the topic:
