Item description from seller

Fine unread condition light silver gray boards, blue cloth spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Author's Note; Preface; Appendix; Glossary; Trademarks; and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white diagrams. Signed, inscribed, and dated (June 6, 1988) by the author with blue pen on the blank first free front endpaper. "IBM, historically at the forefront of the computer industry, has introduced a new strategy with an almost mystical sounding goal: to create the "common view." On March 17th, 1987, the $50 billion computer giant announced a major change of direction - Systems Application Architecture (SAA). SAA is innovative software that will create a new application environment. Computer software written to the SAA standard for machines in one of IBM's three groups of computers will run not only on that family of IBM and IBM compatibles but on the other two families as well. Systems Application Architecture impacts big machines, mid-range, and personal computer systems. IBM: The Making of the Common View is a compelling book that tells the behind-the-scenes story of the development of the Systems Application Architecture strategy, the IBM executives who created it, the impacts it will have, and the opportunities it will present. It explores how and why IBM is using this strategy to create the common view and provides inside information about two of IBM's most precious and guarded resources - its people and its thinking." - from the inner front jacket flap. "IBM: THe Making of the Common View is required reading for anyone who wants to be successful in dealing with IBM. Killen's well researched story has the educational value of a Harvard Business School case-study while being entertaining at the same time." - George Fullerton, VP, Marketing/Sales, MAD Intelligence Systems, Inc. ".Killen's book provides exceptional insight into IBM .and it is the first book about IBM's top executives working in their inner sanctums." - Dr. Donald Hagge, Chairman and CEO, INSTOR Corp.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
