| Ideas rarely emerge full-grown but instead are nurtured by conversa-tion, debate, and argument. This book is no exception. I am indebted, firstof all, to several of my colleagues here at Harvard's Kennedy School ofGovernment--particularly Richard Neustadt, William Hogan, MarkMoore, Herman Leonard, Stephen Kelman, and Francis Bator--whosecareful comments on earlier drafts, coupled with their own thought-provoking research, added immeasurably to whatever strengths the booknow possesses. Across the river at the Business School, Joseph Badaraccoand Thomas McCraw both helped me comprehend the mysterious waysof business decision making, and management consultants Tom Hour,Edward Morrison, and Ira Magaziner helped keep my sights focused onthe real world of competitive strategy. I owe a special thanks to Ira,whose extraordinary knowledge of international business and insightsinto industrial policy are an invaluable fund on which I continue to draw. |
