While their recital of corporate successes and failures shows that reactive planning no longer suffices in an age of swiftly changing technologies and management, the author notes that most American companies, unlike the Japanese and Europeans, are still oriented toward short-term profits rather than long-range results.

The CEO must allocate capital and evaluate personnel wisely, keep abreast of new technologies and plan venture and marketing strategies. CEOs, often inadequately prepared, Lamb alleges, serve an average term of only five and a half years.
