It quickly became a classic as it chronicled the company's extraordinary past and dynamic present and forecast its intriguing and promising future. In this spellbinding book Robert Sobel traces the history IBM from its modest beginnings as the National Cash Register (NCR) under Thomas Watson, Sr., the young man from the farm who went to the city and made good through pluck and luck. He shows how this astonishing corporate entity forged ahead of all others and defined the electronic world according to IBM through technological developments, management techniques, and sales campaigns.
