Through good times and bad, few companies have been so prominently and constantly in the public eye as AT&T. Unblinkingly honest, "Tough Calls" is an insider's firsthand account of how AT&T tried to cope with fierce competition, economic turmoil, and intense media scrutiny. This is the story of the phone company - and there isn't anyone who knows the story like Dick Martin. "Tough Calls" reveals how the strategies that drive major business decisions are disastrously wrong as often as they are right.

Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nasse; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Few companies have been as consistently in the public eye as AT&T, enduring decades of growth, a major breakup in 1984, and numerous challenges. Dick Martin, an executive vice president and 30-year veteran, experienced this tumultuous journey firsthand. The narrative offers an inside look at how AT&T navigated a "perfect storm" of fierce competition and media scrutiny. Martin candidly shares insights into critical moments, including the disastrous 1996 announcement of 40,000 layoffs that nearly crippled the company, flawed succession planning that led to stock price declines, and ongoing turf battles with the "Baby Bells" post-breakup. The book serves as a cautionary tale for businesses, using AT&T's experiences in the telecom wars to highlight essential strategies for surviving tough conditions. Key lessons include avoiding common executive mistakes, balancing internal and external communications, enhancing PR relationships with the executive suite, and maintaining brand recognition amid fierce competition. Martin's reflections provide not only a fascinating account of AT&T's challenges but also a strategic guide for businesses facing their own battles against external adversaries and internal conflicts.
