The Big Time: The Harvard Business School's Most Successful Class and How It Shaped America - Paperback
by Laurence Shames (Author)
"Unlike most books on business...this baby sings." That was the judgment of The New York Daily News in regard to this remarkable volume that entertains on every page while providing rare insights into the methods and secret workings of the Harvard Business School. Focused on HBS's most successful class-the fabled '49ers, "the Class the dollars fell on"-the book combines boardroom drama with astute social commentary. More than just a book about business, The Big Time tells the story of the American spirit at the height of a golden age. Rich in compelling anecdotes and unforgettable characters, this fascinating group portrait-named one of Business Week's 10 Best upon its initial release in 1986--remains a seminal study of American privilege and power, ingenuity and hubris, and an essential text for understanding our own times.
