Features: This book reveals how John Chambers of Cisco Systems, Sanfota Weill of Citigroup, Wang Jialan of Computer Associates, Steve Case of AOL, Michael Armstrong of AT&T, and other behind-the-scenes manipulators of corporate empires orchestrated mergers to expand their business territories. Sumner Redstone of Viacom and CBS shares that the secret to creating value through change lies in maintaining cooperation and optimism during transitions, thereby driving the company forward. Steve Case of AOL demonstrated exceptional talent by shifting the focus from technology to consumers, understanding what they wanted, when they wanted it, and how to bridge the gap between them.
