Andy Grove's Nightmare: How Peter Drucker Saved Intel

from Visionaries, Rebels and Machines

From a failed digital watch to the philosophy that would remake modern management, this is the story of Andy Grove learning to lead when neither he nor Intel had a blueprint. It traces how fear, flawed products, difficult people and Peter Drucker’s ideas helped transform Grove from an anxious engineer into the architect of a new kind of high-tech company. And just when Intel begins to find its system, a peculiar computer on a chip appears on the horizon — setting the stage for the next revolution.
