Book Description
From 1919 to 1962, Walter Carpenter exemplified the establishment professional--the manager who produced nothing himself but who oversaw everything in the company and much in the community. A successful chief executive officer at the Du Pont Corporation and an important director at General Motors, Carpenter personified the power and status many American executives dreamed of winning. Yet, despite his status as an archetype of the "organization man" described by sociologists and praised by business leaders, he frequently confronted the limits of his power and worked hard to maintain his personal autonomy. In this illuminating career study, Charles W. Cheape makes use of voluminous and previously unpublished business records at the Hagley Museum and Library to analyze Carpenter's rise, influence, and leadership techniques--and to shed new light on American corporate culture in the mid-twentieth century. While focusing on Carpenter's career, he offers insights into the processes of management, decision-making, and economic competition at the highest levels of American industry. Strictly Business offers a penetrating and informative study of a uniquely American role and the type of character best suited to play it. "This is an historiographically important study of the transition from owner management to professional management, a process that most companies will eventually have to go through. It is the author's special merit to have shown how Walter Carpenter managed to balance the interests of the Du Pont family with those of the corporation. The comparisons of the three Du Pont brothers, Alfred Sloan, and Walter Carpenter proved particularly illuminating."--John K. Smith, Jr., Lehigh University. Charles W. Cheape is professor of history at Loyola College in Baltimore.

The Business of Platforms
Author: Michael A. Cusumano
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062896334
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
A trio of experts on high-tech business strategy and innovation reveal the principles that have made platform businesses the most valuable firms in the world and the first trillion-dollar companies. Managers and entrepreneurs in the digital era must learn to live in two worlds—the conventional economy and the platform economy. Platforms that operate for business purposes usually exist at the level of an industry or ecosystem, bringing together individuals and organizations so they can innovate and interact in ways not otherwise possible. Platforms create economic value far beyond what we see in conventional companies. The Business of Platforms is an invaluable, in-depth look at platform strategy and digital innovation. Cusumano, Gawer, and Yoffie address how a small number of companies have come to exert extraordinary influence over every dimension of our personal, professional, and political lives. They explain how these new entities differ from the powerful corporations of the past. They also question whether there are limits to the market dominance and expansion of these digital juggernauts. Finally, they discuss the role governments should play in rethinking data privacy laws, antitrust, and other regulations that could reign in abuses from these powerful businesses. Their goal is to help managers and entrepreneurs build platform businesses that can stand the test of time and win their share of battles with both digital and conventional competitors. As experts who have studied and worked with these firms for some thirty years, this book is the most authoritative and timely investigation yet of the powerful economic and technological forces that make platform businesses, from Amazon and Apple to Microsoft, Facebook, and Google—all dominant players in shaping the global economy, the future of work, and the political world we now face.
