Book Synopsis

Jetzt neu als Broschurausgabe präsentiert dieses Buch die 20 beispielhaften Geschichten unternehmerischen Erfolges, die jeder gebildete Geschäftsmann einfach lesen muß. Unbändiger Ehrgeiz, geniale Führungsgröße, Geschäftemacherei und harte Arbeit - das sind die Zutaten für geschäftlichen Erfolg. Harvard-Journalist Dan Gross beschreibt mit jeder einzelnen Geschichte nicht nur die jeweilige Unternehmerpersönlichkeit, sondern auch die dahinterstehende Gesellschaft, und zwar spannend und dramatisch, gespickt mit Weisheiten und geheimen Erfolgsrezepten. (10/97)

From the Back Cover

What do Bill Gates, Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, Mary Kay Ash, and Walt Disney all have in common? Uncompromising vision, a willingness to take risks, and exceptional business acumen. Not only did these individuals amass great fortunes, they revolutionized the business world and helped shape society as we know it. Theirs are just a few of the stories collected in this anthology of commercial ingenuity.

Drawing on a wealth of sources, this priceless collection brings to life extraordinary achievements, many of them forgotten or little known: how Robert Morris, the preeminent merchant of the eighteenth century, financed the American Revolution with his personal credit; how Ray Kroc used a shrewd real estate strategy to turn a faltering hamburger franchise operation into the McDonald's fast food empire; and how Mary Kay Ash built a billion-dollar direct sales cosmetics company by preaching a message of economic empowerment to women.

Enlightening and fascinating, Forbes(r) Greatest Business Stories of All Time celebrates larger-than-life ambition, inspired leadership, wheeling and dealing, and hard work.
