In this eloquent first-person account of a family drama that changed the face of American business, the man who transformed IBM into the world's largest computer company reflects on his lifelong partnership with his father--and how their management style and shared dedication to excellence united to create a unique corporate culture that became the blueprint for the entire technology boom.

In the course of sixty years Thomas J. Watson Sr. and his son, Thomas J. Watson Jr., together built the international colossus that is IBM. This is their story: a riveting and revealing account of two men who loved each other--and fought each other--with a terrible fierceness.

But along with the story of a father and son, this is IBM's story too. It chronicles the management insights that shaped its course and its unique corporate culture, the style that made Thomas Watson Sr. one of America's most charismatic bosses, and the daring decisions by Thomas Watson Jr. that transformed IBM into the world's largest computing company. One of the greatest business-success stories of all time, Father, Son & Co. is a moving lesson for fathers who dream for their children, as well as a testament to American ingenuity and values, told in a disarmingly frank and eloquent voice.

Promising to remain an important business reference as we move into the next century, FATHER, SON & CO. takes a look at the management insight that helped to shape IBM's course and unique corporate culture.It looks at Watson, Sr., one of America's most charismatic bosses, and Watson, Jr., who spurred IBM into the computer age.

Ten years after its original publication, FATHER, SON & CO. remains a uniquely honest book. Watson's willingness to write about the loving but ferociously combative relationship he had with his father and the turbulent battles behind some of IBM's most far-reaching decisions gives readers rare insights into the realities of leadership. -->

读后感

如果大象能够跳舞,那么蚂蚁就必须离开舞台。——郭士纳 大公司的僵化始于官僚化，大公司的老化始于文化的老化。 从小沃森到郭士纳，从鲍尔默到纳德拉，继任的改革者最重要的就是寻找新增量、塑造新文化。而做出一切决策的前提都是基于对现实的观察和对未来的预测，而预测就一定...  

看这本书，写了从父亲沃森创立IBM，生产计算制表记录(CTR)起家。利用自己的管理能力把IBM带到一个科技前沿公司。而那时，我觉得小沃森是以怀疑的目光看着他父亲做这一切的，甚至连父亲为公司取名为国际商业机器公司都带有一点不削。而书中从头到后半部父子间的冲突和化解也展示...  

几乎每年都可以读到一本自传性的商业书籍。这几天早晨，中午，晚上都在读这本完美的书。这是一本很精彩，很坦诚，可以让年轻人，同时也可以使老人学到很多的书。

看这本书是在4个月前。回头一看封面，被小沃森的一对哭眼吸引，它是这对父子经常在一个房间里吵得、气得，两个老男人双双老泪直流的印记。 得有个有影响的爹，不然你做不到像老沃森那样，给小沃森安排进入优秀的私立学校、还专门请个日本人给他安排实习等很多需“策划运...
