IBM, this "dancing elephant," commands worldwide attention with every move. As is well known, from the Apollo spacecraft that first carried humans to the moon in 1969 to the Space Shuttle Columbia's successful launch into space in 1981, all embody IBM's unmatched wisdom. Many Americans often say when talking about IBM: "IBM is the nation's wealth." Despite experiencing storms and challenges, the power of belief has enabled IBM to continue its glorious journey. From the "Watson Philosophy" in its early days to today's "On Demand," IBM, this "blue giant," is still dancing its unique steps toward the future. This book not only describes IBM's authentic corporate culture and stories but also interprets the nearly religious source of belief that has been formed within IBM since the days of its founder, Thomas J. Watson.
