A Business Legend Reveals His Company''s Secrets of Success
In today''s volatile marketplace, it''s rare for firms to
last-much less consistently increase earnings-for more than four
decades. That''s what makes the story of 115-year-old global
manufacturing and technology leader Emerson so remarkable, and so
valuable, for today''s managers. How does Emerson do it? And what
can other companies learn from its success?
Celebrated business leader Charles F. Knight-who was CEO of
Emerson for 27 of its 43 consecutive years of increased
profits-says the secret behind Emerson''s long-term competitiveness
is a dynamic management process carried out with unrelenting
discipline. In Performance Without Compromise, Knight breaks
down the key components of the Emerson management process in detail
for the first time, and shows how this core process enables Emerson
to address and overcome major challenges ranging from technological
discontinuities to intense global competition.
A remarkable success story, Performance Without
Compromise is filled with insightful lessons about leadership,
management, and competitiveness that can be applied in any company
or industry.
