Just as Watergate was the defining political story of its time, so Enron is the biggest business story of our time. And just as All the President’s Men was the one Watergate book that gave readers the full story, with all the drama and nuance, The Smartest Guys in the Room is the one book you have to read to understand this amazing business saga.

文/李翔 刊于《第一财经周刊》211期 安然公司的崛起开始于一个今天看来仍然聪明无比的想法。这个想法由安然后来的CEO杰夫·斯基林提出,概括而言即是“天然气银行”。这个革新的商业模式如下:天然气生产商同安然签订合同,以一定的价格将天然气卖给安然,相当于储户;消费者...
評分此书积灰10年,当年安然的爆发案还是深深震撼了整个金融届的,以至于其后诸多监管法案和对会计准则标准的制订,更甚至于审计事务所对各自客户报表审核力度的加大,舞弊,管理层凌驾于控制之上,关联交易,这些词成为人人挂在嘴边的风险重头戏。怀着想搞清楚到底安然发生了什么...
評分安然神话是如何破灭的 2007-05-21 来源:南方都市报 “诚信:我们公开,诚实并真挚地为顾客服务,为未来而工作。我们说到做到,我们信守承诺。”这段话摘录自安然公司的1998年年报,如果不是牛市的终结暴露出安然如锦繁华背后的败絮,安然或许还会继续书写类似...
評分#看到第六章 后面不看了 [2007年2月第一版] 总结: 性格决定命运,安然的性格,或者说安然董事长的性格决定了公司的命运。肯·莱擅长于人际交往,而不是具体经营。正因如此才请来了斯基林这个来自麦卡锡的天才咨询家——一个同样长于分析而短于经营的人,并认为光为了他天...

Long overdue reading. Enron is a tragedy of a leading innovative company unconscious seeking failure by pursuing success in the extremely wrong way and finally get what it deserves. It was about greed, outsized egos, bad governance, bad luck and smart people doing stupid things. An even greater tragedy, though, lies in the LTCM-Enron-Lehman series.
评分流氓並不可怕,可怕的是流氓有文化。這是一個有文化的流氓發現一種新方法可以躺著賺錢,於是大傢愉快地一起無下限地躺著賺錢,然後流氓發現糟瞭玩太過瞭苗頭不對瞭趕緊跑瞭,大傢於是開始反思人性貪婪啊不好啊之類的故事。每看不到半個小時就要感慨下,天呐,這個公司真是充滿各種奇葩的人(渣)吶。。。天呐。。
评分Enron興衰史,波瀾壯闊,即便是在十多年後、用現在的眼光看去,Enron仍是一個獨一無二的行業領導者和innovator。兩位作者文筆流暢、言簡意賅、多數時候隻是闡明事實,留給讀者無限的思考空間。time is a flat circle, enron的潰敗絕非個案,但卻是最令人目瞪口呆的一個,同樣的事情仍在重復、繼續,what had happened will happen again and again

评分企業傢的開拓史,野心傢的膨脹史,在這本書裏閤二為一
