The man who reinvented the corporation

I was recently reading an old article from the March 22, 2004 issue of Business Week. In a series entitled The Great Innovators, they were taking a closer look at the men and women who had left a mark in business, science, technology, government, etc.

This article summarized the life and contribution of Alfred Sloan. Although his name is not as famous as Thomas Edison or Benjamin Franklin, by far, his influence on the American, and global modern, society might be greater than you think.

Some of Sloan’s contributions include:

  • breaking down responsibilities
  •  

He wrote a book, The Organizational Study, referred to by Welch as the first management treatise.
