Is there a more timely topic for a business book than brilliant
executives running their companies into the ground? Dartmouth
business professor Finkelstein has been on the case for six years,
researching how otherwise intelligent people can manage to botch
things up. Here, he dredges up old corporate screwups like R. J.
Reynolds''s smokeless cigarettes and new ones, too WorldCom and
Tyco, among others. There''s a certain amount of schadenfreude
involved, as the
內容簡介：
Itas an all too common scenario: A great company breaks from the
pack; the analysts are in love, the smiling CEO appears on the
cover of "BusinessWeek" and "Fortune," the stock soars. Two years
later, the company is in flames, the CEO is under attack, and the
stock has tanked. Why does this sort of thing keep happening at
respectable companies like Motorola, Quaker, and Sony, all of which
have very smart, hard-working senior executives? And how can you
tell if itas about to happen at your own company? "Why Smart
Executives Fail" answers these and many more crucial questions.
Sydney Finkelstein, a distinguished professor at Dartmouthas Tuck
School of Business, carried out a six-year study of leadership
failure, the largest of its kind. After hundreds of interviews with
insiders at top companies that got into major troubleasuch as GM,
Mattel, and RiteAidaFinkelstein figured out the common causes
behind failures in wildly different types of companies. He explains
athe seven habits of spectacularly unsuccessful peoplea that drive
smart managers to make catastrophic mistakes. As much about
psychology as it is about business, "Why Smart Executives Fail"
tells the stories of more than fifty great business disasters and
includes exclusive interviews with many of their leaders, in which
they explain what really led to their disastrous decisions.
