Leider kein Inhalt, den man auf irgendeine Art weiterverwenden kann. Nur eine Beschreibung: "erst habe ich das gemacht, dann habe ich das gemacht" - also null Reflexion, warum etwas gut oder schlecht war.

Meine Vermutung: er hat es nicht selbst geschrieben, sondern mit einem (schlechten) Ghostwriter zusammen gearbeitet.

Statt dessen empfehle ich:
Ben & Jerry's: The Inside Scoop

Better than average business book. But not by much. Michael Dell writes about his experiences in creating a multi-billion dollar enterprise that is known to us as Dell Corporation. The creation of this entity is impressive.

I found the history behind what he did to be quite interesting. He gives semi-detailed accounts of what he felt was key turning points in his life and his career. The book is divided into two sections. Part 1 is the history aspect of the life and times of Michael Dell and the Dell Corporation. Part two is identification of some of the key moments in his life and of Dell Corporation with a self help synopsis at the end of each chapter.

While the insights are helpful, they are really 50,000 foot overviews and very generic. The only specifics you will get out of this is if you are in the PC Building type of business where the notes are very specific to this type of business. If you are in a management type of position, this book will give you good insights on what works for Michael Dell. And as they say, most times you don't need to innovate success, just repeat other peoples success.

I plan to re-read part 2 and go over it with a fine tooth comb to glean the information listed in these pages. However, after this, I plan to make this book available and will be releasing it shortly. ( )

От производителя

Автор книги Майкл Делл - председатель правления и главный управляющий Dell Computer Corporation. Основанная на простой идее - поставке высококачественных компьютеров напрямую конечному потребителю, - компания Dell стала одним из лидеров мирового компьютерного рынка и объектов зависти конкурентов.

Книга Майкла Делла - не просто история создания и развития Dell Computer Corporation, это взгляд одного из лидеров мирового бизнеса на проблемы управления предприятием. Прочитав "От Dell без посредников", можно узнать мнение автора о том, почему начинающей компании лучше иметь маленький капитал, чем большой; почему сотрудники представляют большую опасность для компании, чем конкуренты; как можно использовать слабости конкурирующей компании, подчеркивая лишний раз свои достоинства, и многое другое.

Книга ориентирована на менеджеров, предпринимателей, а также студентов и преподавателей экономических вузов.

Michael Dell thinks like a business man, and if you find yourself reading through this book going, duh at a few points, you probably think in a similar manner. While some of the book seems only relevant to people interested in working at Dell or a similar company, there's quite a bit that your average person can take away from this book. ( )

"Under-promise and overdeliver" is a pretty good motto.

And it's something that my bosses advocate too. ( )
