Business
History Books
For
more than 15
years we've organized 1) the history of business: industries, companies, executives, products/services,
economics, scandals, business fiction and 2) essential
books on management: investing, financing, operating decisions into the largest multimedia collection of business
and management history available, organized by subject,
company, year and author.
You'll find good, bad and ugly: operating successes and
failures; entrepreneurial heroes, exploitive villains; empire
builders, corporate raiders, asset strippers; seized
opportunities, lost advantages. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat,
photographs of main characters - all part of
Business History.

Several
management themes dominate business history:
* Individuals start companies - because they have Customers
* Cash and Risk - the heart of all Economic Decisions
* Management makes only 3 types of Decisions: Investing, Financing
and Operating
* Sustainable Growth Opportunities, not sustainable profitable growth = Goal
* Size, Growth, Duration of Cash-Generating Ability = Economic
Success
* Profitability is the Key to Value, to Creating Wealth for
Shareholders
* Capital Flows to the Highest Returns (across industry lines, geographic borders)
