"Why Most Things Fail: And how to avoid it" by Paul Ormerod

Brief:
An interesting book of modern-wave economy. The author proves that the universe of a company is way to complex to be understood, thus any strategy has an undetermined probability to succeed or fail. There is a great number of examples of strategies that failed, of big companies that really did not understood their market even after being a leader in the business for many years. Also the game theory is presented, along with the ice-cream vendors on the beach game.
I personally did not appreciate a great deal the "What is to be done?" chapter, otherwise the book has tons of good information.
