具体描述
T his is the story of an American orig-
inal. Boone Pickens started out in
the 1950s with $2,500. Over the
next 30 years he built Mesa Petroleum,
America s largest independent oil com-
pany, now worth close to $3 billion.
It s a success story--but something
more than that. A lot of the things that
happen to successful people didn t happen
to Pickens. For one thing, he didn t stop
believing in his principles.
In this book he tells us how he made it--
and he also shares his candid insights into
what s wrong with corporate America.
He takes us inside the upper reaches of the
corporate world and shows us companies
beset with laziness and corruption. He
tells it as he has seen it, firsthand: Why the
energy crisis was a farce... How the big
oil companies rolled up enormous profits,
then squandered them at the expense of
their shareholders . . . Why America s
tenured, flock-together CEOs prize their
membership in the Good O1 Boys club...
Most important, why American compa-
nies need restructuring.
In many of America s boardrooms,
Boone Pickens is feared. But to stockhold-
ers, academics, small business men, ordi-
nary Americans, he is a folk hero. He has
challenged some of the biggest companies
in the oil industry, and now he tells for the
first time the whole story behind the
famous takeover battles with Gulf Oil,
Phillips, Unocal--deals that changed
the structure of American business
permanently.
