This book was written straight from the CEO's desk.This is a detailed, first-person account which describes taking on the most senior position in a company which was just treading water, and within less than two years, creating a new financial and technological horizon for it and turning it into a major factor in the market. This isn't just a high-tech business management book, but a detailed manual on how to do this, including analysis of mistakes. The book provides an insider's view on the issues, dilemmas, and difficulties the manager faces, starting from how to figure out the true condition of the company, through defining a business vision and building a leading senior management team, to the diverse considerations in setting R&D goals and product pricing. This is a must-have book for every current or future manager, in high-tech or elsewhere, a book born to have its own place in the manager's office, so that it can be used again and again at the right moment.
