The best business books follow your bullet point list exactly and concentrate mostly on the final point: being objective or writing for a specific audience. I read many business books, but if they are not objective and just present theory they are not very practical to me. The books I enjoy and consider to be of value are ones that teach practical tools you can apply back to your own work. My new favorite is The Innovation Killer by Cynthia Barton Rabe. In the book she has some practical brainstorming tools the reader can apply to their work to help overcome barriers that keep us from being innovative. I intend to use these same tools in a strategy session I have coming up for my business group. Just a comment to your post.
