Features: The development of a company is like the rise and fall of an empire, constantly emerging, flourishing, and then perishing. However, many legends of immortal company empires exist: Why can companies like General Electric, Procter & Gamble, HP, General Motors, IBM, and Walmart grow from small to large, from weak to strong, and remain at the top of their industries after nearly a century of development? This book focuses on the succession processes of leaders in 20 globally enduring companies, presenting to readers the exciting stages of these excellent companies—reserving, cultivating, appointing successors, the successors following, transforming, and perfecting the company. It hopes that the experiences of these successful companies will bring help to the management of many companies.
