Seems solid rec. For lazy person, I think a couple of things that will give you quick intuition for present affairs are:

* The Fifth Discipline - read the beer game chapter and AI summaries for the rest, helps build intuition for chained systems

* Chip War - a quick read but AI summaries will suffice, helps build knowledge for semiconductor industry orientation

* The Goal - classic business book on just-in-time, useful to overturn standard human reactions. read if you're a quick reader, AI summary otherwise
