Description
Berkshire Hathaway, one of the world's largest and most famous corporations, is often misunderstood. This comprehensive portrait of its corporate culture reveals the traits that ensure its perpetual prosperity. The book explores how Berkshire's fifty direct subsidiaries have achieved success through strategies that generate economic value from intangible values such as thrift, integrity, entrepreneurship, autonomy, and a sense of permanence. Riveting stories recount each subsidiary's origins, triumphs, and journey to Berkshire, providing valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, and investors. A valuable resource for scholars of corporate stewardship, this engaging book offers insights into how an iconic businessman transformed a struggling shirt company into a corporate fortress that will endure as his lasting legacy.
