How 91% of American Executives Size-up Their Companies Most people have a healthy curiosity about American corporations and their executives and a desire to know what makes them tick. In this groundbreaking study, the inner workings of the American corporation of the 1980s are examined in depth--revealing numerous surprises that dispute conventional wisdom about corporate life. The information is based on the answers to an exhaustive confidential questionnaire given to 1,086 top-and middle-management executives of 13 major American corporations. The executive's candid observations, combined with author Allan Cox's knowledge and experience, have produced a unique, authoritative and fascinating book.
Focusing on the corporation of the 80's, this would make an ideal companion study in college and B-School classes that wanted to compare-and-contrast chapter-and-verse with what we understand today's corporate environment to be.
The book answers five main questions: (1) What do corporations value? (2) How do corporations function? (3) How do corporations succeed and fail? (4) What are executives like? and (5) How do executives succeed?

From the Author:
When I finished the manuscript of this book I sent a copy to Peter Drucker. He called me, effusing in his thick Austrian accent over what he called "an amazing mass of useful data." To my knowledge this was the first time he ever gave his name to a book blurb. He composed it over the phone: "A meaningful, important survey."Made my day!
