Most expensive book ever bought !

If the value of a book is determined by the following formulae;

                   Cost of the book

Value = -----------------------------------

                  Number of book pages

Then I just purchased the most valuable book in my collection

At 45 pounds and 90 pages, the EFQM twin set has a value of 50p / page !!

================================================================================

Seriously though, I am begining to see this as good investment...At the first glance, it is just a book with some meaningless boxes. But the real gem of this EFQM is in the inter-relationship between each boxes. Like for the Measurement of Result (II) project, if I imagine myself as a company manager in a automobile part supplier company, supplying parts to Toyota. With the matrix on page 10 , I can quickly find that partnership is related to leadership 1C, Policy 2A & 2C, Partnership 4A, and Process 5C and 5E, and Result 9A & 9B, flick to relevant pages and find more information about how to manage that. It's like an encyclopedia for business success. Haha... maybe I am exagerating a little bit XD
