Review
“A gripping and deeply reported account of the devastating disintegration of one of the most iconic firms ever to exist. To all of us shocked by GE’s seemingly abrupt fall from grace, this book lays out in painful detail how such a thing could have happened.”—Rita McGrath, Columbia Business School, author of Seeing Around Corners: How to Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen
“Gryta and Mann tell a bracing tale of corporate venality, incompetence, and shortsighted deal-making. It's a parable with no heroes, but many lessons for anyone who wants to know how 21st Century corporate management, which venerates stock price above all other measures of value, has gone so disastrously awry.” —Andrew Rice, New York Magazine
"Lights Out is the definitive story of an American business powerhouse losing its way. Gryta and Mann's meticulous reporting puts us in the rooms—and on the private jets—where GE's leaders struggled over the company's fate, with billions of dollars in the balance. More than just an intimate profile of one company, this book is a captivating tale of human complexity, greed, and hubris." —Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind: Drugs. Murder. Empire. Betrayal
"This vital history of an American institution warns us of what happens when a company pursues growth for growth’s sake, and its leaders struggle to understand what they can and cannot control." —David Gura, Anchor and Correspondent, MSNBC
"Possessing all the suspense of a true-crime account, Gryta and Mann’s riveting look at GE’s previous two decades underlines the harsh facts of survival in 21st-century business." —Publishers Weekly
"Gryta and Mann expand on their Wall Street Journal reporting to create a compelling narrative of a giant’s spectacular fall in this powerful and fascinating read." —Booklist
"This revealing and accessible postmortem of GE’s downward spiral will be important reading for a wide audience, including customers, employees, former employees, and investors, as well as anyone interested in 21st-century corporate management." —Library Journal

##这是夏天rosemary和她的团队来我家看电影带过来的..今天抽空凑合看了下。90%是作者根据公开资料做的案头整理工作 10%是smoothing provision性质的填充.太多修饰性的废话了...里面techinical error太多了..不过同意作者的一点是GE is an american institution..然后一路咔嚓...
评分##GE的失败在于激进的会计处理、押注了错误的行业（油气、电力、航空）、过于依赖金融、缺乏行业专注、颟顸自大的领导以及追求完成指标的文化。作者似乎把责任都推给了伊梅尔特。但我认为韦尔奇埋下了失败的种子，只是失败的后果由后人来承担。比较可惜的是John Flannery，他似乎太过实诚，虽然他的战略都是对的，但可惜失去了董事会的信任，成为了前任制造的灾难的牺牲品。这本书写到比较“干”，虽然有一个很好的话题，但只能给到四颗星。

评分##写的比较详细（拖沓）的一本书，在一开始做笔记，后来已经看累了……其实Jeff Welch鼎盛之时就埋下了衰败的种子，其兴也勃焉，其亡也忽焉。
评分##its kinda of a collaboration of GE history, primarily focusing on Jeff. We all know Welch and his famous six sigma management philosophy. But I do not have any idea of his successor Jeff. It fair to see people in most aspects, the book is just telling criticisms and let u know the downside without truly knowing it. Let say it a ok book.
评分开头还行，中间有点啰嗦，倒来倒去讲Jeff如何烂，但例举出来的也算不上多大点事。 其实更想看的是Jack，他20年传奇才是隐藏着衰落之根，当然Jeff厉害点的话，大概也不至于落到如此地步，Jack神话也不会破灭。 John一年多就是把问题都抖出来了，问题是作为top leader，太过negative, transparency也是不行的。 Culp很兴奋的不教书了，只是他能力挽狂澜吗？只有天知道。
评分##多少人是看了Bezos的推荐，找来看的….
