You just said yourself that the book itself provides some serious fundamental business values that I feel the majority of companies today lack. I don't think "one drawback" can equate to the "fall" of Good-to-Great. There's too much value in it to discount his years of management research and study so quick based on the failure of a few of these companies. He never once stated in his book that the companies were invincible, but rather that they conducted themselves in a way, at the time, to earn extremely high returns when compared to the market.

The free Tibet movement as you say is a cultural hype. I wish the media could educate the public more than just showing his videos. Unfortunately the American public is not aware of Tibet’s history.

But, then you fall victim of the exact same mistake Jim Collins did! "the Halo . believing that becaus a company is doing well now they will do well in the future. Jim tried to look for a larger period than the life-span of Google, so Google was not even a contender for the G2G list. you make even that mistake of including a company that is in it's infancy.
