Rather than focusing on theories or formulas, the book narrates compelling episodes such as the rise and fall of the Ford Edsel, insider trading scandals on Wall Street, Xerox’s breakthrough innovations, and General Electric’s management culture. Through these richly detailed stories, John Brooks shows that business outcomes are often shaped less by numbers and strategies and more by psychology, ethics, judgment, and decision-making under pressure. Written with clarity and narrative flair, the book remains highly relevant, demonstrating that human nature in business has changed very little over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"969\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1015\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1728\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003eJohn Brooks\u003c\/strong\u003e (1920–1993) was an American journalist and author best known for his long association with \u003cem data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, where he wrote insightful essays on business, finance, and economics.
