Pages : 605
Book Description
“A first-rate biography of this grand admiral who is better known for his political skills than his naval ones.” —US Naval Insitute Proceedings Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz (1849–1930) was the principal force behind the rise of the German Imperial Navy prior to World War I, challenging Great Britain’s command of the seas. As State Secretary of the Imperial Naval Office from 1897 to 1916, Tirpitz wielded great power and influence over the national agenda during that crucial period. By the time he had risen to high office, Tirpitz was well equipped to use his position as a platform from which to dominate German defense policy. Though he was cool to the potential of the U-boat, he enthusiastically supported a torpedo boat branch of the navy and began an ambitious building program for battleships and battle cruisers. Based on exhaustive archival research, including new material from family papers, Tirpitz and the Imperial German Navy is the first extended study in English of this germinal figure in the growth of the modern navy. “Well written and based on new sources . . . allows the reader deep insights into the life of a man who played a very important role at the turn of the last century and who, like almost nobody else, shaped German policy.” —International Journal of Maritime History “An invaluable reference work on Tirpitz, the Imperial German Navy, and on politics in Wilhelmine Germany.” —The Northern Mariner

Achieving Success in Difficult Times
Author: Frederick M. Zimmerman
Publisher: Frederick M. Zimmerman
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Companies in the United States and other countries have one thing in common. They all experience good times and more difficult times. This book attempts to look at how companies manage their affairs when times are not so good. Some companies handle matters well. They emerge successfully from difficult times to continue as profitable entities and good places to work. Other companies flounder. The questions examined in this book are which managerial strategies and methods work best, and which do not. It recounts a longitudinal study of 16 businesses that experienced very difficult financial difficulties in several periods of our nation's industrial history. Nine of these companies were ultimately successful and seven were unsuccessful. The strategies employed in successful turnarounds and the managerial skills and character traits present among successful turnaround agents are compared and contrasted with those of unsuccessful turnaround efforts. All of the companies examined were real companies drawn from actual occurrences in the automobile and agricultural equipment industries, in part because more was written about the character and methods of the people involved in these trying events. Specific criteria and measurement procedures were used to select the cases for study and to classify the cases as successful or unsuccessful. Quantitative and narrative information, business histories, and interviews were used to examine strategies and key functional operations, including marketing, manufacturing, product development, and finance. Multiple data sets covering many years, usually 20 years, were examined for each case and published narratives were examined to supplement the statistical data.
