Krátky popis
The enduring story of Thomas Watson Jr.-a figure more important to
the creation of the modern world than Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and
MorganNearly fifty years into IBM's existence, Thomas Watson Jr.
undertook the biggest gamble in business history when he ",bet the
farm", on the creation of the IBM System/360, the world's first
fully integrated and compatible mainframe computer. As CEO, Watson
drove a revolution no other company-then or now-would dare, laying
the foundation for the digital age that has transformed every
society, corporation, and government.The story of Watson being
",present at the creation", of the digital age is intertwined with
near-Shakespearean personal drama. While he put IBM and its
employees at risk, Watson also carried out a family-shattering
battle over the future of the company with his brother Dick. This
titanic struggle between brothers led to Dick's death and almost
killed Watson Jr.himself. Though he was eventually touted by
Fortune magazine as ",the greatest capitalist who ever lived,",
Watson's directionless, playboy early years made him an unlikely
candidate for corporate titan. How he pulled his life together and,
despite personal demons, paved the way for what became a global
industry is an epic tale full of drama, inspiration, and valuable
lessons in leadership, risk-taking, and social responsibility.
