Kevin and I have found many books to helpful in writing The Blue Line Imperative. What follows is the first of what promises to be many recommendations for worthy books that touch on at least one of the themes addressed in our own book.
Capex Excellence: Optimizing Fixed Asset Investments, by H. Hansen et al. West Sussex (UK): John Wiley & Sons, 2009.
This book is a thorough and rigorous treatment on how to squeeze the greatest value potential from capital investments. Written by a team of senior consultants from McKinsey, it is particularly interesting for those of you involved in asset-intensive companies.
