A Business and Its Beliefs (9780071626453)



The timeless business book that still brings perspective and guidance to today's bottom-line executives

When first published in 1963, IBM CEO Thomas Watson Jr.'s A Business and Its Beliefs gave readers an unprecedented look inside IBM's executive offices. Watson--son of IBM's founder--candidly discussed how the company clung to its values during the first great technological shift, and how this refusal to compromise became IBM's strength. He also became one of the first CEOs to question business's place and responsibility in society, and openly discuss how firms could meet expanding social expectations while still turning a profit.

The groundbreaking ideas in this book still resonate with today's managers. This newly published edition reintroduces Watson's ideas to a new generation of decision-makers in search of IBM-style standards for their own organizations. A to-the-point examination of the values and beliefs that built and sustained IBM, its message is as valuable today as it was four decades back--and will once again strike a resounding chord with executives everywhere.

Swiss photographer DANIEL BAUER showcases his photographic work with the beautiful young women of the magic city of Barcelona. Often provocative, always intense, sexy and emotional fine art nudes that show the female beauty of authentic, self confident and modern women. During the last 5 years Daniel Bauer photographed many women in Barcelona. He encouraged them to explore their sensuality in front of his camera without limits and invited them to move freely without imitating the typical glamour poses or pretending something they didn't feel. The beautiful young women who revealed themselves from their most sensual sides are amateur models and most of them have never before been photographed in the nude. The results of these photo sessions are images of an exceptionally strong sensual vibrancy. Despite of the modern and young look of the photographs, Daniel Bauer sees himself as an old school photographer. Instead of adding effects or enhancing pictures using editing software, he w
