s+b Best Business Books 2004

November 11, 2004
http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/04409
The year 2004 was an inflection point for global businesses, as the first tough years of the 21st century finally gave way to a welcome surge in profits, cash flow, and market value. Executives are once again focused on growth and innovation, although their optimism is tempered by the grim news of continuing war, rocketing energy prices, and slow job growth. That sober optimism is reflected in strategy+business's fourth annual survey of the year's best business books.
