Berkshire Beyond Buffett

The Enduring Value of Values

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Berkshire Hathaway, the $300 billion conglomerate that Warren Buffett built, is among the worlds largest and most famous corporations. Yet, for all its power and celebrity, few people understand Berkshire, and many assume it cannot survive without Buffett. This book proves that assumption wrong. Rich with lessons for those wishing to profit from the Berkshire model, this engaging book is a valuable read for entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, and investors, and it makes an important resource for scholars of corporate stewardship. General readers will enjoy learning how an iconoclastic businessman transformed a struggling shirt company into a corporate fortress destined to be his lasting legacy.

Rezensionen

"How did Warren Buffett build such a great firm? To unravel this mystery, Lawrence Cunningham takes a deep dive inside the cultures of Berkshire Hathaways subsidiaries, highlighting the value of integrity, kinship, and autonomy-and revealing how building moats around the castles may help the firm outlast its visionary founder." - Adam Grant, Wharton professor and author of Give and Take
