Product Description
"Everyone knows Warren is the greatest investor of our time. . . .This book for the first time captures his genius as a manager."
—Jack Welch
—Jack Welch
The first book to reveal the investment and management strategies of the Berkshire Hathaway all–star management team. Much has been written about Warren Buffett and his investment philosophy; little has been made public about the inside management of Berkshire Hathaway. With a market cap exceeding 100 billion , Berkshire Hathaway has a market value surpassing many icons of American business such as Dell, AT&T, Disney, Ford, Gillette, American Express, and GM. Drawing on his personal experiences as well as those of Berkshire′s chief executives, officers, and directors interviewed for this book, Berkshire insider Robert P. Miles provides a unique look at the Berkshire Hathaway culture and its management principles.

Robert Miles knows Warren Buffett, and it's clear that he also knows a thing or two about the people who run the companies in Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Armed with information gleaned from eight months of intensive interviews, Miles uncovers what makes a Berkshire manager tick, and covers the workings of Berkshire, itself, as well. Writing through the voices of the CEOs he portrays, Miles skillfully weaves the colorful histories of 18 firms into a revealing set of success stories. Many tales are similar - the CEOs love their companies; they worked hard to build solid businesses and no one regrets selling his firm to Berkshire. They all sound genuinely happier than you might possibly believe, and each chapter has business models you shouldn't miss. We invite any executive to enter these pages for an insider's view (still, it doesn't hurt to remember, they all knew Warren was gonna read it).

To understand Berkshire Hathaway, one has to understand the rare group of excellent managers that it possesses. Although Warren Buffett is believed to transform Berkshire Hathaway from a textile company to the greatest investing machine, one has to know that without great managers running all the fully owned subsidaries, Berkshire would not last for the next hundred years.
Robert Miles has dedicated a great amount of effort and time into producing such a wonderful book. This book is not only important for the long term term shareholders of Berkshire but also for the acquisitive CEOs. All CEOs could learn from this book how to make proper acqusitions with good managers in place.
