1.0 out of 5 stars Twisty language beguiles the easily amused April 30 2004
By ZDDQ140770
Format:Paperback
The influences are clear: rock journalism, pampleteering, dot-com uber capitalism and some basic ideas about markets. Spice up some old ideas from Tom Peters and Charles Handy with energizing language and lo and behold a bestselling book. This is an example of style well over content, language used to beguile and entrance without saying anything at all. Reading this thoroughly i cannot find a single original idea in this book. If this is cutting-edge thinking, business is in serious trouble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not stop in thinking if funky is good or not...funky is April 20 2004
By Oscar
Format:Paperback
Until today my concept for being the best have changed 180 degrees.
Funky business bring to all managers and people in general a new way of thinking...people driven...people focused. 1.3 kgs of human body made the differnce, not your high tech machines or your nice buildings and logos.
Today`s managers should take this book and use it to create a new way of make business focused in the prime good of all processes, humans, brains, minds.
Thank you Jonas and Kjell...hope to have the plasure to meet you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Idiosyncratic Aug 9 2003
By Greg T. Smith
Format:Paperback
Ridderstrale and Nordstrom have written a witty, but substantive treatise covering the impact of change on the global business world and institutions. These are highly underrated authors deserving of much more global respect and attention. It is no mistake that the authors are highly respected academics and consultants in Scandinavia. I believe their views and concepts mirror those of many of the leading edge Nordic companies who have forged ahead in the wired world. I look forward to their next work with great anticipation. I read this book in one day although it's about 250 pages, and often find myself reviewing chapters.

I highly recommmend this work along with Kilmann's Quantum Organizations and, to a lesser degree, Himanen's The Hacker Ethic. These works are the antithesis of highly academic and turgid business books.
