Description
"Consumer electronics and computers redefined life and work in the twentieth century. In Inventing the Electronic Century, business historian Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. traces their origins and worldwide development. From electronics prime mover RCA in the 1920s to Sony and Matsushita's dramatic rise in the 1970s; from IBM's dominance in computer technology in the 1950s to Microsoft's stunning example of the creation of competitive advantage, this analysis is essential reading for every manager and student of technology."--Jacket.
