Much more than a memoir, "Starting Something Big tracks GEs progress from the early 1950s to its present-day dominance in the global market. Interview accounts and anecdotes add personal flair to Garvins analysis of the long-term economic characteristics of the aircraft engine industry, including GEs contract with the U.S. Department of Commerce to help Russian aerospace engineers adapt and survive in civil markets. Youll learn, through Garvins experience, how to gain an edge in finding money for new programs, staying competitive in the production of commercial aircraft engines, and positioning your financial investors--and start something big of your own.
