Book Review - Books by Tom Peters

Thomas J. "Tom" Peters is an American writer on business management practices, best known for In Search of Excellence (co-authored with Robert H. Waterman, Jr).

1982 – In Search of Excellence (co-written with Robert H. Waterman, Jr.)
It's his popular book. It started a trend of researching what "best" companies do and trying to replicate those ideas. However, over time it has been seen that some of those "best" companies have become "junk" shares. Thus, there are rightful skeptics. But I still think it is a good read too.

1985 – A Passion for Excellence (co-written with Nancy Austin)
It is good to read.

1987 – Thriving on Chaos
It consists of quite a good number of case studies. It is good to read.

1992 - Liberation Management by Tom Peters
This is quite long - around 750 pages. But it is a huge collection of case studies and quite easy to read.
I highly recommend it.
