10 Business Book to Read during Quarantine

My first job right out of engineering school was with a company called Fusion Engineering, founded by Gautam Mukherjee. Gautam, until this day is one of the smartest persons I have ever met. As part of the training at Fusion, Gautam madeit mandatory for every new employee to read Odyssey Pepsi to Apple by John A. Byrne. I am happy that he did, as it opened a whole new world of business to me.
