In 1990, IBM had its most profitable year ever. By 1993, the company was on a watch list for extinction -- victimized by its own lumbering size, an insular corporate culture, and the PC era IBM had itself helped invent. Enter Lou Gerstner. The presumption was that Gerstner had joined IBM to preside over its continued dissolution into a confederation of autonomous business units -- effectively eliminating the corporation that had invented many of the industry's most important technologies. Instead, Gerstner took hold of the company, making the bold decision to keep it together, defiantly announcing, "The last thing IBM needs right now is a vision." Told in Lou Gerstner's own words, this is a story of an extraordinary turn-around, a case study in managing a crisis, and a thoughtful reflection on the computer industry and the principles of leadership. Summing up his historic business achievement, Gerstner recounts high-level meetings, explains the no-turning-back decisions that had to be made, and offers his hard-won conclusions about the essence of what makes a great company run.

評分很早就聽說瞭郭士納的這本書《誰說大象不能跳舞》,雖然我對IBM這段起死迴生的經曆很感興趣,然而一直沒有買迴來看,傢裏堆積著沒來得及看的好書太多瞭,使我近期在壓抑著自己買書的速度。 前些天和一位朋友吃飯時,鄭重嚮我推薦此書,迴傢後便在大洋書城下瞭訂單。...
評分根據菲利普·莫裏斯的說法,來自煙草行業的營業收入也因為RJR納貝斯剋杠杆收購後不久所造成的價格戰而備受壓力。在這裏,菲利普·莫裏斯隻不過是按照麥當勞創始人雷·剋羅剋的建議行事——“當你看見自己的競爭對手快要淹死的時候,應該趕快抓起消防水龍頭並放到他嘴裏。” 莫...
評分郭士納麵對韆頭萬緒、問題重重、暮氣沉沉的IBM,他是如何邁齣萬裏長徵的第一步的,如何確定方嚮,如何看到問題的關鍵,如何確定要解決問題的優先級,這裏麵有太多我們去反復琢磨和學習的地方。 郭士納的第一次IBM高層會議,當被引入會議室時,他發現除瞭他,所有在...
評分2005年5月1日,中國電腦大腕聯想集團正式對外宣布完成收購IBM全球PC業務。這是皆大歡喜的一幕:新聯想一躍成為全球第三大PC製造商,而IBM終於在他們的前任董事長郭士納指引的IT服務轉型的道路上義無反顧地輕裝前進。 提到IBM,讓人想到著名的thinkpad,深藍的氣質,四海...
