Resumo

As much as anyone, Alfred P. Sloan is responsible for creating the high-consumption lifestyle that dominates modern American life. During his forty years at General Motors (1916-56), Sloan took the lead in converting the firm from a loose assortment of tentatively related companies into the largest, most productive, and most profitable industrial enterprise in the world. Sloan and his team made GM the model for how to efficiently organize and manage the mass production of almost any complex product.
