In Search of Excellence

Lessons from America's Best-Run Companies

Book • 1982

Published in 1982, 'In Search of Excellence' by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman is a landmark management book.

It analyzes 43 top-performing companies from the Fortune 500, using the McKinsey 7-S model, to identify eight common themes that contributed to their success.

These themes include a bias for action, staying close to the customer, promoting autonomy and entrepreneurship, productivity through people, hands-on and value-driven management, focusing on core business, maintaining a simple organizational structure, and fostering simultaneous loose-tight properties.

The book emphasizes the importance of people, customers, and action in achieving business excellence and has been widely influential in management practices.
