Book Reviews of Who Needs a COO?
Book Review: Not worth your dollars
Summary: 1 Stars
This PDF download is nothing more than *extremely* light, couple page, anecdote regarding the role of the COO. I found it both lacking in content and insight. With extremely large print, and being only 5 pages long, it appears to be more a "teaser" that would appear before a substantive discussion of the topic in a magazine, rather than an article itself. This is the first time I've posted a review to Amazon, and I felt compelled to do so because of the very poor quality of this product. Amazon don't destroy your reputation for quality product with e-articles of this extremely poor caliber. Readers - don't waste your money on this. Even at the low price offered this is not worth your time or money.
