About The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett And I Built Our Company
Product description The co-founder of a successful computer corporation describes his initial meeting with Bill Hewlett at Stanford University, their first shop in a Palo Alto garage, and their innovative management styles From Booklist More than 50 years ago, when California's Santa Clara Valley was known by the mountains that formed it rather than by the silicon-based technology utilized by the many companies that proliferated there, electronics giant Hewlitt-Packard was born in a Palo Alto garage. As the company expanded, founders David Packard and Bill Hewlitt maintained their management style, which was influenced in part by a laid-back California culture and came to be known as the "HP way." Elements of their "way" are included in much of today's popular management philosophies: listening to customers, trusting employees, decentralizing, being sensitive to social responsibility, etc. Here Packard offers reminiscences of how, as his subtitle indicates, Bill and he built their company. Much more personal than standard corporate histories, Packard's book provides insights into managing and motivating people and inspiration for would-be entrepreneurs. David Rouse Review "An unswerving chronology of the life and most good times of Hewlett-Packard, from its notional beginnings . . . to its luminous present." -- New York Times Book Review
