IBM
9073 IBM - BIBLIOGRAPHY
This book has been more than a decade in the preparation, since the time it became obvious that IBM was starting on its death throes and Microsoft was taking on its crown. Over that period my literature searches have extended to literally thousands of publications. I will not inflict all of these on you here. Instead, I have listed below the leading books which focus the five main topics which this book addresses. Those I believe to be the most informative - at least in the context of the coverage of this book - are asterisked*.

There is a vast library of books on the general subject of management. As I have already suggested, the references I myself have used, across the number of books I have written, add up to several thousand by themselves. Accordingly, it would be invidious to select out even the few dozens whose contents I suspect have indirectly contributed to the contents of this book. Consequently I detail below only those books that I believe might have been the most influential in the historical periods covered.
Drucker, Peter F, (1955) The Practice of Management, Heinemann
Hammer, Micahel & James Champy, (1995) Reengineering the Corporation, Nicholas Brealy
Handy, Charles B, (1976) Understanding Organisations, Penguin Books
