Executives Almanac by Milton Moskowitz
This title includes facts, trivia and salacious gossip from the world of commerce. It is a great gift for dads, business folks, professionals and fact-lovers! Business doesn't have to be boring. Milton Moskowitz has spent 50 years as an international business journalist, keeping an eye out for quirks in the global business machine. He's now compiled his knowledge into this unique collection of facts, lists, anecdotes, histories, diagrams, stories, comparisons, charts, tables, and trivia that illuminate the word of business. As in our "Bathroom Companion", text will feature 200+ short, blurby factoids about the world of business. You'll discover: Soichiro Honda quit the company that bears his name because he lost his sexual potency and his ability to consume large amounts of alcohol; Adidas and Puma are competing companies owned by estranged brothers, both headquartered in the German mill town of Herzogenaurach; In 1990, 350 million Chinese people lived on less than $1 a day. Due to increased industrialization, by 2000, that number decreased to 200 million; 314 acres of trees go into every edition of the "Sunday New York Times". But the book does more than capture the flavor of the business world with anecdotes about oddball CEOs and tables of creative stock market symbols. Its straightforward statistics will cut through the spin and get to the heart of issues regarding corporate social responsibility. Moskowitz's hardhitting facts will illuminate modern business practices, while salacious details color in the bottom lines of the global economy's biggest earners.
Milton Moskowitz has been a business journalist for 50 years. He is the bestselling coauthor with Robert Levering of 1984's The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America, and he annually updates Fortune magazine's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.
