1. The Modern Firm: Organizational Design for Performance and Growth by John Roberts
Brief: The most fundamental responsibility of a general manager is to craft strategy and design an organization where the strategy can succeed within the economic, political, legal, regulatory, social, and the technological environment the firm operates.
