Description
Exploring the interconnections between technological innovation, management science, entrepreneurship, and national economic growth, Creating Modern Capitalism offers a comprehensive understanding of how specific entrepreneurs influenced the economic success of their countries.
This book, the result of a three-year collaborative effort at the Harvard Business School, combines cutting-edge scholarship with a finely tuned sense of the art of management, providing insights into the long-term championship performances of leading business firms in the United States, Britain, Germany, and Japan.
Through its unique triple focus on national economic systems, particular companies, and individual business leaders, Creating Modern Capitalism sheds light on the true nature of capitalist development and the factors that contributed to the national economic success of these countries.
