In this eloquent first-person account of a family drama that changed the face of American business, the man who transformed IBM into the world`s largest computer company reflects on his lifelong partnership with his father--and how their management style and shared dedication to excellence united to create a unique corporate culture that became the blueprint for the entire technology boom.

In the course of sixty years Thomas J. Watson Sr. and his son, Thomas J. Watson Jr. , together built the international colossus that is IBM. This is their story: a riveting and revealing account of two men who loved each other--and fought each other--with a terrible fierceness.

But along with the story of a father and son, this is IBM`s story too. It chronicles the management insights that shaped its course and its unique corporate culture, the style that made Thomas Watson Sr. one of America`s most charismatic bosses, and the daring decisions by Thomas Watson Jr. that transformed IBM into the world`s largest computing company. One of the greatest business-success stories of all time, Father, Son &Co. is a moving lesson for fathers who dream for their children, as well as a testament to American ingenuity and values, told in a disarmingly frank and eloquent voice.


Promising to remain an important business reference as we move into the next century, FATHER, SON &CO. takes a look at the management insight that helped to shape IBM`s course and unique corporate culture. It looks at Watson, Sr. , one of America`s most charismatic bosses, and Watson, Jr. , who spurred IBM into the computer age.

Ten years after its original publication, FATHER, SON &CO. remains a uniquely honest book. Watson`s willingness to write about the loving but ferociously combative relationship he had with his father and the turbulent battles behind some of IBM`s most far-reaching decisions gives readers rare insights into the realities of leadership
