Review
“A gripping and deeply reported account of the devastating disintegration of one of the most iconic firms ever to exist. To all of us shocked by GE’s seemingly abrupt fall from grace, this book lays out in painful detail how such a thing could have happened.”—Rita McGrath, Columbia Business School, author of Seeing Around Corners: How to Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen
“Gryta and Mann tell a bracing tale of corporate venality, incompetence, and shortsighted deal-making. It's a parable with no heroes, but many lessons for anyone who wants to know how 21st Century corporate management, which venerates stock price above all other measures of value, has gone so disastrously awry.” —Andrew Rice, New York Magazine
"Lights Out is the definitive story of an American business powerhouse losing its way. Gryta and Mann's meticulous reporting puts us in the rooms—and on the private jets—where GE's leaders struggled over the company's fate, with billions of dollars in the balance. More than just an intimate profile of one company, this book is a captivating tale of human complexity, greed, and hubris." —Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind: Drugs. Murder. Empire. Betrayal
"This vital history of an American institution warns us of what happens when a company pursues growth for growth’s sake, and its leaders struggle to understand what they can and cannot control." —David Gura, Anchor and Correspondent, MSNBC
"Possessing all the suspense of a true-crime account, Gryta and Mann’s riveting look at GE’s previous two decades underlines the harsh facts of survival in 21st-century business." —Publishers Weekly
"Gryta and Mann expand on their Wall Street Journal reporting to create a compelling narrative of a giant’s spectacular fall in this powerful and fascinating read." —Booklist
"This revealing and accessible postmortem of GE’s downward spiral will be important reading for a wide audience, including customers, employees, former employees, and investors, as well as anyone interested in 21st-century corporate management." —Library Journal
用戶評價
##多少人是看瞭Bezos的推薦，找來看的….
評分##我把自己寫的關於ge的復盤發給林博，林博就給我推薦瞭這本新書。
評分##寫的比較詳細（拖遝）的一本書，在一開始做筆記，後來已經看纍瞭……其實Jeff Welch鼎盛之時就埋下瞭衰敗的種子，其興也勃焉，其亡也忽焉。
評分##傳統工業巨頭隕落。一個傳奇的公司，從無所不在變成螻蟻。從一個傳奇CEO帶領金融造假收入，變成二任Ceo繼續造假而不專注自傢業務，到最後韆穿百孔。但這也是40年的纍積。 看來這類大型公司很禁得起遭。
評分##我把自己寫的關於ge的復盤發給林博，林博就給我推薦瞭這本新書。
評分##The myth kept by GE for decades went out of business in this book. 2020年10月6日初閱
評分##無限感觸….好多部分觸動我的心，通用走嚮衰弱是個漸進的過程。大傢都努力著，可惜都沒天時地利人和。可以和通用一起走進曆史，雖然悲傷，也不為是一種榮幸
評分##乾貨不多 基本上是對Immelt個人的批鬥 幾乎沒有討論Welch的曆史責任 也沒有深究龐大組織係統性失效的根源 另外GE Capital證明來錢最容易的還是無銀行之名行銀行之實（此處應有螞蟻）
評分##對我這種不怎麼關注GE的人來說，信息量還是很大，把GE的衰落寫得比較具體，有些地方簡直讓我震驚（比如其任期內幾乎一直有備用機跟著伊梅爾特飛行，這浪費且愚蠢）。書中也寫瞭，韋爾奇時代就在用會計手段來做盈餘管理，隻是大趨勢上公司一直在增長，伊梅爾特當然也用盈餘管理（還有藉貸支付股息和迴購），但空間變小，更重要的是大趨勢上不行瞭，他也沒有韋爾奇那種投資組閤管理的能力。另外，這又一次提醒我遠離業務復雜的公司，單一業務復雜（如金融）和業務多元化且復雜的公司不要試圖去分析，隱藏的坑太多瞭，而且你看會計報錶都看不齣來，直到問題已經無法掩蓋，即使在韋爾奇時代GE就已經很復雜且看不懂瞭，不是說伊梅爾特時代遠離，韋爾奇時代也要遠離，不管媒體多麼追捧它，它的股價漲多少倍，復雜就是復雜，搞不懂就是搞不懂。
