Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world? When Steve Jobs, the maverick computer genius & head of Apple Computers, issued that challenge, Sculley turned his back on everything he had struggled to achieve at Pepsi. The two of them spent some heady months in the effort, like two Davids taking on Goliath — IBM. But there were painful months, too, during the worst of Apples troubles, when their close friendship turned destructive. Recreates their painful boardroom showdown over the direction of Apple. Reveals how he & a group of tough, irreverent managers rebuilt Apple. Photos.

An MBA is not necessarily the ticket to fast-track career success that it once was. Companies are down-sizing, competition for jobs is fierce, and now, more than ever, getting into the right programme at the right school is critical. This work is an inside look at the 40 best B-schools in America. Based on extensive new survey, it profiles the best graduate business schools as rated by people who know them best: recent graduates and corporate recruiters. It peeks behind the slick brochures to provide a no-holds-barred look at every facet of the most prestigious programmes, including quality of teaching, curriculum, campus lifestyle, track records of placement offices, average starting salaries for graduates, and more. There are up-to-date rankings and profiles; information on the best regional, part-time and executive MBA programmes; coverage of who is applying to B-schools and why, and what the hottest subject areas are; advice on selecting the right programme, scoring high on the GMATs and hitting the mark on the application and written essay; and hints on how to get the school to foot part of the tuition.

Jack Welch was perhaps the greatest corporate leader of the 20th century. When he first became CEO of General Electric in 1981 the company was worth $12 billion. Twenty years later it is worth a total of $280 billion. But Welch was more than just the leader of the most successful business in the world. He revolutionised GE's entire corporate culture with his distinctive, highly personal management style: the individual appreciation of each of his 500 managers, the commitment to an informal but driven work style and the encouragement of candour were all part of the Welch approach. Following John Harvey Jones's Making it Happen and Troubleshooter, Jack has already become the businessman's bible for the 21st century - an inspiration for a new generation of corporate players.

JACK WELCH

Warner Books, Inc.

As CEO of GE for 20 years, Jack Welch built its market cap by more than $450 billion & established himself as the most admired business leader in the world. His championing of initiatives like Six Sigma quality, globalization, & e-business have helped define the modern corporation. At the same time, Welch is a gutsy boss who has forged a unique philosophy & an operating system that relies on a ''boundaryless'' sharing of ideas, an intense focus on people, & an informal, give-&-take style that makes bureaucracy the enemy. In this book, Welch gives us the people who shaped his life & the big hits & the big misses that characterized his career. Includes the story of his last year -- the process of selecting a successor & the attempt to buy Honeywell. Photos.
