tombgrt Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Interesting topic. I only read one that was purely about moats and competition, Competition Demystified by Bruce Greenwald. Great book imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green King Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Competition Demystified: A Radically Simplified Approach to Business Strategy by Bruce C. Greenwald and Judd Kahn.... My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddballstocks Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have two recommended readings on how companies with moats utterly destroyed themselves and shareholder value along with it. Billion Dollar Lessons And the Wolf Finally Came Both great reads, nothing lasts forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAL9000 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Read this: The Discipline of Market Leaders - This book gives an excellent overview of different operating models and how they compete in the marketplace. Executing extremely well on the operating model builds a business' moat. Then read these. They aren't necessarily the best examples, but I found that reading through the leadership perspective of how each company was run brought each operating model to life. 1. Made in America - Sam Walton of Walmart - Cost Leadership Model 2. Only the Paranoid Survive - Andy Grove of Intel - Innovation / Product Leadership Model 3. Straight from the Gut - Jack Welch of GE - Customer Experience/Intimacy Model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
