First edition of Sloan's influential work, which has since become a classic. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Association copy, warmly inscribed in the year of publication by the author on the half-title page, "For my good friend Ernest C. Arbuckle with my very best regards. Alfred P. Sloan New York Jan 17, 1964." The recipient, Ernest C. Arbuckle was a prominent American business leader and educator best known for his transformative tenure as dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Business from 1958 to 1968. Under his leadership, the school emerged as a national leader in management education, marked by a strengthened academic reputation, expanded faculty, and increased engagement with the corporate sector. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. Jacket painting of Sloan by Robert Weaver, courtesy of Fortune Magazine. Edited by John McDonald with Catherine Stevens. First editions are uncommon, especially signed and inscribed.
Only a handful of business books have reached the status of a classic, having withstood the test of over thirty years' time. Even today, Bill Gates praises it is the best book to read on business, and Business Week has named it the number one choice for its "bookshelf of indispensable reading." My Years With General Motors became an instant bestseller when it was first published in 1963. It has since been used as a manual for managers, offering personal glimpses into the practice of the "discipline of management" by the man who perfected it. This is the story no other businessman could tell--a distillation of half a century of intimate leadership experience with a giant industry and an inside look at dramatic events and creative business management.
