Books reviewed in this issue:▪ Beyond Software Architecture: Creating and Sustaining Winning Solutions▪ Service Innovation: Organizational Responses to Technological Opportunities & Market Imperatives▪ The Future of Competition: Co‐Creating Unique Value with Customers▪ The Power of Strategy Innovation: A New Way of Linking Creativity and Strategic Planning to Discover Great Business OpportunitiesEditor's note: This group of reviews includes one of a software development book, and another such review is in the pipeline. Software is edging into products increasingly: automobiles, toys, appliances, and telephones, for instance. More importantly, software developers have had more than their share of spectacular failures. But they have taken the time to learn from these failures, and I believe that product developers can learn a great deal by adapting software development learnings. Other allied trends that we plan to introduce are globalization and “green,” as they apply to product development.
