| Abstract: | About 15 years ago, when today's top-ranking German executives were still toiling along as middle managers, they witnessed what must have been an unnerving phenomenon. A new generation of tough bosses at the biggest companies in the U.S. and Britain were turning their organizations into lean, mean profit machines, partly to meet an onslaught of Japanese rivals and partly to make investors happy. They slashed payrolls, sold off floundering businesses, and kept their eyes on the bottom line. The result: Today, their companies are among the most competitive in the world. |
