It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

Publisher's Summary
There are laws of nature, so why shouldn’t there be laws of marketing?
As Al Ries and Jack Trout - the world-renowned marketing consultants and best-selling authors of Positioning - note, you can build an impressive airplane, but it will never leave the ground if you ignore the laws of physics, especially gravity. Why then, they ask, shouldn’t there also be laws of marketing that must be followed to launch and maintain winning brands? In The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, Ries and Trout offer a compendium of 22 innovative rules for understanding and succeeding in the international marketplace. From the Law of Leadership, to The Law of the Category, to The Law of the Mind, these valuable insights stand the test of time and present a clear path to successful products. Violate them at your own risk.

Highly recommended, but could use an update.
This is one of those books hat everyone says you need to read in marketing or business, and having now listened to it,I would have to agree. That said though, I would love to read or listen to an up to date version of this book.
Many of the companies and examples that they use are in a very different position than they were when this was written, and while we can still learn so much from their history, a lot has changed in the marketing industry. In particular, I would love to hear what they have to say about the rise of social media and digital marketing, as well as a boom in startups and accessibility.
Furthermore, in my opinion, you can't write a current book on marketing and business and not talk about Google.

Outdated!
Book contains some decent advice but the examples given throughout the book are so outdated and many have proven to be wrong over the past 20 years, that they immediately put into question the theories the authors propose to be laws. Because of how old the book is, it also completely disregards how marketing has changed with the rise of the internet

Needs Updating
Most of the core content is solid but it's badly in need of a revised version. Originally written around 1992 so their examples of success are antiquated. When one of their examples of a "poorly" created marketing strategy of a company that "probably will struggle" is Microsoft....it makes you question everything they say.

Finely structured marketing book
Would you consider the audio edition of The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing to be better than the print version?
I've read several marketing books before and browsed through thousands of articles, but this one is my favorite so far. Well structured and defined, providing great examples from the real world, focusing on the specific rules that you need to follow in order to prevent failure.

Dated but I love it.
This book is obviously (painfully) from the early 90s, but it makes the references more fun (especially Donald Trump as a failure). However, the laws ring true. Past success can lead to future failure. This books laws apply to humans period, not just marketing. It's invaluable.

Misleading and out dated
While at the time of writing (1990's) this book might have been relevant, this book is sold as being a 2014 release. A large number of the examples given however have been proven wrong and "promising businesses" have gone out of business. I understand that nobody can read the future but I purchased this book believing it was 2014 current. Will be seeking refund.

Great Guide for 1960's Marketers
This book has a lot of theories for which the only evidence it presents is some well known historic case studies. It is very telling I think that the few predictions the book offers using these theories the authors get spectacularly wrong.
