Product Description

Review

"Roberto C. Goizueta left a legacy that extends far beyond Coca–Cola. He′s the man who showed that a company could expand by narrowing its focus to soft drink sales and that a brand name could become a marketing juggernaut"–The Wall Street Journal (October 20, 1997)


Product Description

Robert Goizueta created more stockholder wealth than anyone in history. Here′s how he did it...

The late Roberto Goizueta helped catapult the successful but stagnant Coca–Cola into the world′s most powerful brand and one of the greatest generators of stockholder wealth in history. At the time of his death, he was hailed in papers around the world as one of the most innovative and successful CEO′s of our time. Yet little is known of this corporate maverick. This is his story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed With Knowledge!, 16 Sep 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a good business biography. The author has an eye for the interesting detail - such as the fact that the future chairman of Coca-Cola and the future Yankee-hating Communist leader Fidel Castro went to the same elite Cuban private school. He also has a good understanding of the business issues that Roberto Goizueta addressed during his remarkably successful career. This is not a hagiography or an "authorized" biography. In fact, author David Griesing reports that Goizueta opposed the book project and directed his friends and the public relations department of Coca-Cola not to cooperate. Remarkably, in the face of that opposition, the author not only persevered but also produced a book that seems scrupulously objective. If it is not a paen, neither is it a hatchet job. It's the real thing, and we find it well worth reading and recommending.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but could be better, 21 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this book but I found the rise of Goizueta to the CEO position too fast (in context of the book - around chapter 3). Once there, the book flies and you have to remember LOTS of different names of people. Not bad, and a good insight into politics at Board Level.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read, very informative and insightful, 19 Jul 1999
By A Customer
An excellent read, the author has gone to great lengths to ensure accuracy of the information. Not only does it show an insight to the Coke company but alson how and why things are as they are. Highly recommended
