Because there has been some confusion about short reviews, I would like to clarify. A book receiving a short review is in no way an inferior book; we do not review books we regard as substandard. Instead, it is a book that does not fit squarely within our normal selection criteria. For example, neither of the short reviews here addresses product innovation exclusively but only as one of many corporate activities. In addition, <jats:italic>Strategy Maps</jats:italic> aims principally at top management.</jats:p>
