Some of the books and other media that I have found useful in defining and achieving market+profit performance improvement potential during four decades are listed below. The list is far from complete. Some of the 1000+ books I have studied are not listed because they were superseded by newer editions. Or, better approaches were developed by others with the application of new technology.
