Recommendation
Most corporate biographies read like carefully crafted public relations pieces, containing the self-congratulatory prose found in any annual report. In a refreshing departure, journalists Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm and Jeffrey M. O’Brien offer a thoughtful, well-researched and intelligent history of IBM. In telling IBM’s story, the authors trace the history of technology over the last century, explore IBM’s influence and how it changed industry and society. They delve into IBM’s story from its founding father Thomas Watson Sr. and its participation in technology development, to today’s modern international corporation. Even though IBM sponsored and published its own epic tale, getAbstract recommends it to anyone interested in computer technology or business history.
