An Analysis of Selected Jim Collins Articles I will begin by saying that at first I found Jim Collins articles confusing. I could understand the point he was trying to make in each article but when I tried to put together the train of thought that ran through all his work I found it very confusing - I couldn't see which direction he was heading in.

…showed last 75 words of 4992 total… Microsoft second. Despite these criticisms I think that Collins works are both insightful and beneficial. I think it is important to emphasise as Collins does himself - these are observations not creations.
