Why you should read Performance Without Compromise
For 43 years, global electronic giant Emerson delivered consecutive annual increases in earnings and dividends per share. The end of this winning streak in July 2001 hardly tarnished the reputation of one the world’s most admired corporations. Charles F. Knight, the second of only three CEOs since 1954 in the company’s history, explains in detail how Emerson built its success by meticulously planning and executing its management system. Few companies can match Emerson’s accomplishments, yet you can apply the fundamentals of the company’s system to most organizations. getAbstract recommends this book to managers looking for successful models and others who enjoy reading about big winners.
