Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World is a 2015 business strategy book co-authored by Donald N. Sull, a senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, a professor at the Stanford University School of Engineering.[1]
Content
[edit]Sull and Eisenhardt suggest that a limited set of simple rules must be applied to solve specific problems in complex situations.[2][3] This thesis, which emphasizes "short cut strategies",[4] is the best way for businesses to solve problems.[5] The book illustrates this with many case studies,[3] ranging "from medical care to college football to complexity theory."[6]

A review in the Sydney Morning Herald suggested the book was "neither a silver bullet nor a self-help book. It mentions how the authors acknowledge that companies like Netflix that use simple rules are also guided by large amounts of sophisticated analytics.[3]
