Business the Rupert Murdoch Way: 10 Secrets of the World's Greatest Deal-Maker

I generally do not like reading thick books. This book is not only ideal for the busy executive, but also for that "lazy student" who has much beter things to do in life. At the end of each chapter, the key take-aways are summarized. It is interesting to note that Murdoch can compromise ethics and journalistic integrity to further his business. He also has a nack of thinking and planning lightyears ahead of his rivals, and can stoop at any level to keep the Chinese happy (BBC, Critical Reporting, scrapping Chris Patten's autobiography et all).

The book is very generic on how Rupert Murdoch operates, I was expecting more specifics. The book is good though, if you just grab the 10 steps the author mentions.
