Fall of the Bell System - A Study in Prices and Politics

Klappentext The Fall of the Bell System traces and analyzes the events that resulted in the breakup of AT&T, the largest corporate reorganization in history. This reorganization resulted from a mix of deliberate design and uncontrollable cumulative processes. This study reveals much about the internal decision making of a major business enterprise and explains much about how private and public interests combine to shape corporate and public policy in late twentieth-century America. Zusammenfassung AT&T's divestiture was the largest corporate reorganization in history and has had international repercussions. It was a major development in American economic policy! and a prominent part of the deregulation movement of the late 1970s.
