Intel’s work environment spawned new corporate cultures that are now mainstream. Michael Malone’s historical overview will intrigue any computer or smartphone owner who’d like to understand Intel and how it changed society. getAbstract recommends this fascinating saga to history buffs, executives, managers, entrepreneurs and human resources professionals seeking examples of strategic leadership.

Take-Aways

  • Seven scientists left Shockley Transistor in 1957 to start Fairchild Semiconductor under Robert Noyce’s leadership.
  • Inefficient vaccuum tubes were replaced by transistors, which manufacturers could turn into on-off gates or switches. This led to digital circuits.
  • When he did not get the CEO position at Fairchild, Noyce led a split-off to start Intel.
