IBM Redux

Description:

"Here is the first in-depth look at IBM's recovery and the man who is leading it, Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Author Doug Garr chronicles Gerstner's rise, his arrival as the first steward from outside the company's ranks, and his implementation of new business and marketing strategies. Drawn from more than 150 interviews and hundreds of pages of documents, Garr paints a portrait of the improbable transformation of this dying mainframe company into an increasingly nimble information services giant. With access to current and former IBM employees, the author provides rare insight into how it happened and what still needs to happen for the company to thrive in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
