| Description: |
Tells the 40-year story of the creation and demise of one of the pioneering companies of the computer age. This work explains in detail how a particular culture can become so embedded that the organization is unable to adapt to changing circumstances, even though it sees the need very clearly. |
| Synopsis: |
Digital Equipment Corporation achieved sales of over $14 billion, reached the Fortune 50, and was second only to IBM as a computer manufacturer. Though responsible for the invention of speech recognition, the minicomputer, and local area networking, DEC ultimately failed as a business and was sold to Compaq Corporation in 1998. This fascinating modern Greek tragedy by Ed Schein, a high-level consultant to DEC for 40 years, shows how DEC's unique corporate culture contributed both to its early successes and later to an organizational rigidity that caused its ultimate downfall. |
