Based on the rating, if you're the CEO of C company, and this comparative book rated your product "Performance" as 5.2% of product scoring, which is a low rating, and this can hamper the company reputation, What Do You Do? The answer is of course is to SUE the book publisher. Over 1000 companies, there is 800 to 900 companies who scored low ratings. If each of these low rated companies SUE the book publisher, DO YOU THINK THIS PUBLISHER CAN SURVIVE. Now the book is in 5th edition and still available at bookstore. How you think about this?
