John McDonald
A Ghost`s Memoir: The Making of Alfred P. Sloan`s My Years with General Motors

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Published in 1964, My Years with General Motors was an immediate best-seller and today is considered one of the few classic books on management. The book is the ghostwritten memoir of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. (1875-1966), whose business and managementstrategies enabled General Motors to overtake Ford as the dominant American automobile manufacturer in the 1920s and 1930s. What has been largely unknown until now is that My Years with General Motors was almost not published. Although it was written with the permission of General Motors -- and slated for publication in October 1959 -- at the last minute General Motors tried to suppress the book out of fears that some of the material in it could become evidence in an antitrust action against the company. This book, by John McDonald, Sloan`s ghostwriter, tells the behind-the-scenes story of the book`s writing, its attempted suppression, and the lawsuit that eventually led to its publication. McDonald`s narrative is… [detailed...]

A Global Perspective on Real Estate Cycles (The New York University Salomon Center Series on Financial Markets and Institutions, Volume 6)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The real estate industry has been severely affected by recent developments in international capital markets. There has been a decline in real estate investment trust (REIT) share prices, and a decline in capital available for real estate ventures. These setbacks have coincided with serious financial problems of very large hedge funds and other institutional investors in the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities. This volume collects the revised papers first presented at a conference hostedby New York University`s Salomon Center on the impact of globalization on real estate business cycles. To this end, the conference offered new insights into the implications of U.S. and global real estate cycles on real estate securities including REITs and mortgage-backed securities as well as direct real estate investment. The most important insight is that the amplitude and frequency of the cycles differ from place to place and time to time. To the extent that this implies that real… [detailed...]
