    • A good business model
    • You may be surprised to find out that this book was not written by someone inside Starbucks, especially considering the glowing account of how this company rose to the top and stayed there. However...

    • I love this copy
    • This one is probably the best copy of competitive advantage, even though i find many articles in "on Competition" as well, but you can still buy both. Acutally you have to!

    • Cannot see the Value in it
    • Any student of economics will not be surprised by this disappointing book. Economic theory says that given a change in price amount demanded can 1. increase 2. decrease 3. stay the same.
