Yet, for all its power and celebrity, few people understand Berkshire, and many assume it cannot survive without Buffett. This book proves them wrong. In a comprehensive portrait of the corporate culture that unites Berkshire's subsidiaries, Lawrence A. Cunningham unearths the traits that assure the conglomerate's continued prosperity. Riveting stories of each subsidiary's origins, triumphs, and journey to Berkshire reveal how managers generate economic value from intangibles like thrift, integrity, entrepreneurship, autonomy, and a sense of permanence. Rich with lessons for those wishing to profit from the Berkshire model, this engaging book is a valuable read for entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, family business members, and investors, and it is an important resource for scholars of corporate stewardship. General readers will enjoy learning how an iconoclastic businessman transformed a struggling textile company into a corporate legacy. 410 0$aColumbia Business School Publishing 606 $aCorporate culture 606 $aInvestments$zUnited States 606 $aMutual funds$zUnited States 615 0$aCorporate culture. 615 0$aInvestments 615 0$aMutual funds 676 $a338.8/60973 700 $aCunningham$b Lawrence A.$f1962-$01598931 702 $aArlow$b Noah 702 $aNoble$b Steven 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820812603321 996 $aBerkshire beyond Buffett$94090631 997 $aUNINA
