Here is a who's who of business, thirty-one profiles of inventors, financiers,        organizers, motivators, and gurus--a vivid, informative look at the history of        management as seen through the lives of its most influential figures.We meet Eli        Whitney, creator of the cotton gin and father of the machine tool industry, who        failed to profit from his genius; Thomas Edison, who once vowed he would never        invent anything he couldn't sell; and Andrew Carnegie, who applied the railroad        management system to the steel industry, with spectacular results. There are        profiles of such railroad giants as James J. Hill and Edward H. Harriman, and        colorful portraits of Samuel Morse and Graham Bell, the two men who launched the        communications industry in the U.S. The great innovators of management and        organization are here as well, including the founders of systematic management,        Frederick W. Taylor and Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. There's an intriguing        side-by-side look at William C. Durant, builder of General Motors, a visionary but a        weak manager and organizer, and Alfred P. Sloan, who gave GM the structure it        needed, and provided the model for all large, multiproduct firms to come. And there        are thought-provoking profiles of motivational experts Elton Mayo and Abraham        Maslow; quality advocates W. Edwards Deming and Joseph Moses Juran; Taiichi Ohno,        inventor of just-in-time manufacturing; and finally, Peter Drucker, the most        influential management thinker of our time.This is the distilled essence of        management genius, a stimulating and, at times, inspiring look at the pioneers who        shaped how we do business today.
