American management''s lack of knowledge about, or even interest
in, how foreign managers think reduces the number of options
available to us. This, in turn, not only weakens American firms in
international competition, but even in dealing adaptively with the
future as it arrives within our own society.
In the United States, truly novel ideas about management usually
come from the fringes of management, or from new or small companies
headed by innovative, small-firm entrepreneurs. Yet the

The American businessman has traditionally turned to top
American leaders and academics for information on management
techniques. But in an increasingly global economy, the lessons to
be learned from the experience of foreign business leaders are
essential for all American managers. Reinhard Mohn''s revised
edition of Success Through Partnership -- expanded with essays on
vanity in the life of a manager and new goals in the workplace, and
with a new chapter on freedom for the creative man -- remains an
important addition to the American manager''s bookshelf. Although
Mohn''s views do not necessarily represent the majority of European
or German management, his opinion is highly respected. One of the
most successful businessmen of the postwar era, he has built his
company, Bertelsmann, Inc., into one of the biggest media
conglomerates in the world. Today, Bertelsmann is a $14billion
company with more than 57,000 employees worldwide.
Mohn has developed and practiced some of the most innovative
management techniques we have seen during the postwar period. With
the expansion of Bertelsmann, Mohn has shown that it is possible to
combine modern leadership techniques with social concerns. He has
demonstrated that efficiency and human concerns need not be
incompatible, but should, in fact, be the basis for the
productivity of the economic system. In this book he presents a
strategy for partnership between employees and management, a
reorganization of the three elements of business -- capital, work,
and management -- and suggests how capitalism must be modernized to
save the free-enterprise system.
