Features: This book is both a concise and clear history of General Motors and an engaging biography of a personal career; it interprets Sloan's management philosophy and techniques from a fresh perspective, summarizing and refining his practical experience. While telling the story of how General Motors grew from an inefficient and disorganized automotive conglomerate into a highly efficient, organizationally advanced automotive giant, the book also explains how Sloan applied his brilliant business concepts to the company's operations and how he resolved and addressed various problems and contradictions during the process of corporate transformation. The book has two main features: On one hand, each chapter vividly lists Sloan's management wisdom; on the other hand, numerous cases from various companies and organizations of all sizes are included, all shining with the guiding and innovative practical wisdom of Sloan. This book is suitable for business managers, management consultants, and students and faculty of MBA programs.
