Consumer electronics and computers redefined life and work in the twentieth century. In Inventing the Electronic Century, Pulitzer Prize-winning business historian Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. traces their origins and worldwide development. From electronics prime mover RCA in the 1920's to Sony and Matsushita's dramatic rise in the 1970's; from IBM's dominance in computer technology in the 1950's to Microsoft's stunning example of the creation of competitive advantage, this masterful analysis is essential reading for every manager and student |
