DEC Is Dead, Long Live DEC

"DEC is Dead, Long Live DEC tells the 40-year story of DEC's creation, demise, and enduring legacy. Author Edgar Schein consulted to DEC throughout its history and so had unparalleled access to all the major players, and an inside view of all the major events. He shows how the unique organizational culture established by DEC's founder, Ken Olsen, gave the company important competitive advantages in its early years, but later became a hindrance and ultimately led to the company's downfall."--Jacket.
