It focuses on the entrepreneur, the firm, and the industry, by showing-from the inside-how businesses operated after 1920, while offering a good deal of Modern American social and cultural history. The case studies and contextual chapters provide an in-depth understanding of the evolution of American management over nearly 100 years.
