This work tells the story of the evolution of the social phenomenon of the 20th century - company man. The business corporation has become not only the engine of economic power, but the dominant community in much of the industrial world. Its executives have become enclosed in their own hierarchies and bureaucracies which have dominated their careers and their families' lives. The book shows how this new breed emerged and developed across the world, through successive industrial changes, and how different versions of company men - in America, Europe and Asia - are now competing for survival. Anthony Sampson is the author of "The Anatomy of Britain", "The New Europeans", "The Sovereign State of ITT", "The Seven Sisters", "The Arms Bazaar", "The Money Lenders", "Black and Gold", "The Midas Touch" and "The Essential Anatomy of Britain".

Anthony Sampson is the son of a research chemist in ICI, and was born in the company town of Billingham- on-Tees. He has been keenly interested in South African affairs since 1951 when, after leaving Oxford, he first went to South Africa to become editor of the black magazine ‘Drum’ in Johannesburg. He met Nelson Mandela that year in Soweto as Mandela was preparing for the Defiance Campaign against apartheid, which ‘Drum’ covered extensively.

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xii, 353, [1] pp. From the introduction: "In this book I set out to trace the story of company men - and later company women - as social rather than economic beings. I try to depict them, not just as actors in company histories, nor as 'humanware' alongside software and hardware, but as individuals in the round who have always faced difficult and changing relationships with their employers, and between their offices and homes. I make much use of writers and outside observers who have provided insights and sidelights into human predicaments which have been too often ignored by management experts, and obscured by mechanical structures and attitudes. And I give special attention to the recurring tension between the human spirit and the machines which it has created: the thème which has kept returning in différent forms since the Industrial Revolution, and which has reached a new phase in the age of computers. In covering such a wide geographical canvas, I have not tried to provide a comprehensive history. I do not attempt to furnish an economie analysis, or to describe the development of unions, industrial disputes or strikes. I have concentrated on the changing character of middle-class company man, picking out the phases and episodes which seem most significant and enlightening, and providing close-ups of a few big companies which have provided models and fore-runners for others: including General Motors and IBM in America, Shell and ICI in Britain, and Toyota and Sony in Japan." An ex-library copy with a callnumber on the spine, library bookplate on the front pastedown endpaper (overstamped withdrawn), stamps on the title-page and verso of the title-page and on the final text page, agetoned at margins, otherwise near Very Good.
