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

##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.

評分##乾貨不多 基本上是對Immelt個人的批鬥 幾乎沒有討論Welch的曆史責任 也沒有深究龐大組織係統性失效的根源 另外GE Capital證明來錢最容易的還是無銀行之名行銀行之實（此處應有螞蟻）
評分##多少人是看瞭Bezos的推薦，找來看的….
評分##雖然寫的一般，但通用電氣的混亂狀況還是令人印象深刻。
評分##讀過的感覺生詞最多的一本
評分##‘Reality isn’t a tackle sled. Story isn’t a strategy. Sometimes imagination alone doesn’t work. ’寫得一般，確實看得非常辛苦。大不一定強，縫隙處的秘密可能突然bite on you; 持續穩定deliver的財務錶現不一定是conglomerate的抗風險和穩定性，也可能是隱藏的不受監管的財務遊戲。
評分##雖然寫的一般，但通用電氣的混亂狀況還是令人印象深刻。
評分##傳統工業巨頭隕落。一個傳奇的公司，從無所不在變成螻蟻。從一個傳奇CEO帶領金融造假收入，變成二任Ceo繼續造假而不專注自傢業務，到最後韆穿百孔。但這也是40年的纍積。 看來這類大型公司很禁得起遭。
