Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When Giants Fall is a clear and serious business history book about ten of the largest corporate collapses in modern history.From Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual to Enron, WorldCom, General Motors, China Evergrande, PG&E, Conseco, CIT Group, and Energy Future Holdings, this book exami…nes how famous companies and financial giants reached the point of failure. Some were destroyed by debt. Some were weakened by fraud. Some made bad bets at the wrong moment. Others were brought down by market crashes, legal liabilities, liquidity pressure, or business models that no longer worked.This is not a sensational crime story and it is not a technical legal guide. It is a plain English account of how large organizations can appear strong while serious weaknesses grow beneath the surface.Each case shows a different path to collapse, but the patterns are often familiar: too much borrowing, misplaced confidence, aggressive growth, weak controls, hidden risk, and leaders who waited too long to face reality.Written for readers interested in business history, financial crises, corporate failure, banking, restructuring, and the warning signs behind major collapses, When Giants Fall explains why the biggest failures rarely begin on the day they become public.They begin years earlier, when the cracks are still easy to ignore.
