      Summary of What Really Works (William Joyce, Nitin Nohria & Bruce Roberson)

      1. The four primary management practices

      2. The four secondary management practices

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      What is the secret to sustained business success? When it comes to being successful over the long haul, what really works?

      To answer this question scientifically, a five-year research project – dubbed the Evergreen Study in recognition its attempt to search for the evergreen principles of success – was undertaken by consultants and business school professors at top universities around the country. They analyzed more than 200 management practices, fads, silver-bullet cures and management buzzwords commonly used by 160 companies to statistically identify what really matters in business and what does not.

      At the end of this five-year analysis, the Evergreen Study came up with a stunningly simple result: All successful companies master six specific management practices, four of which are compulsory (the four primary management practices) and two of which are optional but which must come from a list of four secondary management practices. This 4+2 pattern is found in every company which has achieved and sustained long-term success.

      In essence, the 4+2 formula is an unambiguous road map to success. Any company or organization which aspires to succeed in the future simply needs to find effective ways to excel in the four primary practices and any two of the secondary practices.

      "The results of the Evergreen Study were startling. Most of the 200 practices we started with turned out to be chaff – their success or failure was irrelevant to total-return-to-shareholders. But we found a clear and compelling correlation between total-return-to-shareholders and eight general areas of management practice: four primary and four secondary.
