"It is probable that no invention of such far-reaching importance was ever diffused with such rapidity or so quickly exerted influences that ramified through the national culture": First Edition of The Turning Wheel; signed by Arthur Pound and Alfred Sloan
POUND, Arthur; Alfred Sloan P.
The Turning Wheel: The Story of General Motors Through Twenty-Five Years 1908-1933.
New York: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc, 1934.
First edition of this history of General Motors and the motor car. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, top stain navy blue, pictorial endpapers, frontispiece, with black and white illustrations throughout. Boldly signed and dated by Arthur Pound and Alfred Sloan on the second free endpaper. Alfred P. Sloan, long-serving president and later chairman of General Motors, was instrumental in transforming the company into a model of modern corporate management. His implementation of decentralized administration paired with coordinated control became a foundational paradigm in business organization, influencing both contemporaneous industrial practices and later management theory. In very good condition.
