    A new idea - an interesting read

    Cricket is one of those things to which Indians can relate to instantly. That makes it one of the most useful medium to convey a set of ideas easily to the Indians. Mr. Dev Prasad did a fabulous job of using cricket to describe complex corporate case studies in a lucid and palatable manner. The book appeals both the mass and the class. Kudos to the author.

    Power Pack

    One of the very few management books that does not slip into the compulsory pontification which such books are used to. Lucidly written, sharply edited and innovatively presented. I loved the cover btw. :) Buy it !
