The Engine That Could: Seventy-Five Years of Values-Driven Change at Cummins Engine Company - Hardcover
Synopsis
The rise of Cummins Engine Company from a tiny Indiana machine shop to one of the world's leading producers of diesel engines is a story rich with lessons for today's managers. By responding to challenges familiar to all American manufacturers with a tough competitive stance and a uniquely people-centered philosophy, Cummins has carved out a distinctive position in the international industrial landscape. From its early days with charismatic founder Clessie Cummins to its continued proud independence in an age of hostile takeovers, Cummins has done business with confidence and creativity. This vivid book depicts the tough choices--often with enormous consequences--that must be made by successful managers.

From the Back Cover
"Carefully researched and written with verve, The Engine That Could shows us what it takes to be successful in an era of take-overs, mounting political pressures, and intense global competition. A must for the aspiring business leader as well as for the general reader who wants to understand America's shifting role in the world economy." --Louis Galambos, Professor of Business and Economic History, Johns Hopkins University
"The Engine That Could should be required reading for business managers, analysts, and historians who seek to understand how an extraordinarily well managed firm maintained its competitive core capabilities through depressions, war, and the postwar boom, and then navigated through the temptations of diversification, threats from unfriendly capital markets, and challenges from powerful foreign competitors, to emerge as the nation's sole remaining independent diesel engine producer. This is a model business history." --Alfred D. Chandler Jr., Isidor Straus Professor of Business History, Emeritus, Harvard Business School
