Before Bill Gates, there was David Sarnoff,
By A Customer
This review is from: The General: David Sarnoff and the Rise of the Communications Industry (Hardcover)
Painstakingly researched, fascinating, and authoritative biography of a business leader who wielded enormous influence over the course of the 20th century. David Sarnoff's life reads like an American Dream; from impoverished Russian-Jewish immigrant to visionary autocrat of high technology, his leadership remains the touchstone for today's high-tech CEOs.Students of business as well as avid biography-readers will find much to learn here. Comparisons of the corporate regulatory environment, such as the RCA anti-trust hearings to Microsoft's current situation are inevitable. But perhaps most interesting of all is how Kenneth Bilby traces the roots of one man's power, influence, and vision. What is Greatness in the corporate world? Read, and find out. |
