Published by Crown Business, 2002, softcover, index, 384 pages, basically condition: as new.
A readable, informative overview of the personalities and ideas that have shaped the modern business world includes profiles of Peter Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, Alfred Sloan, and Abraham Maslow and traces the rise of some of corporate America's most important business institutions
Brilliant, inciteful and insightful and often entertaining survey of major economic and business thinkers active in 20th Century America. A bit dated being published in 2000 for several reasons: an overly positive handling of Peter Drucker as a futurist; a progressive historian's faith in an improving world that seems more than a little naïve today; a rather uncritical view of the corporation as such in light of treatments of GE, Du Pont, GM, IBM, etc. through various consultancies. That said, this book puts a lot of critical business thought (Taylorism, Deming's TQM, Maslow's hierarchies, Simon's satisfices, et al in one place for reference. Useful, especially given how little this stuff is usually covered "panoptically" in texts and media. Recommended reading, even sampling!
