纽约时报》畅销书作者、杰出的财经记者威廉-D-科恩（William D. Cohan）撰写的美国较具代表性的公司的戏剧性崛起--以及难以想象的衰落。

没有哪家公司比通用电气公司更出色、更持续地体现了美国的聪明才智、创新和工业力量。通用电气曾经开发和制造了许多我们今天认为理所当然的发明，从灯泡到喷气式发动机的几乎所有东西。通用电气还建立了一个令全球羡慕的财务和领导力成功的崇拜，成为世界上较有价值和较令人钦佩的公司。但是，即使在其声望和影响力的高峰期，其强大的基础上也出现了裂缝。

在对这家曾经声称 "将美好事物带入生活 "的公司进行的精湛的重新评估中，杰出的财经记者威廉-D-科汉认为，通用电气令人难以置信的兴衰故事不仅是一个典范，而且是一个棱镜，通过它我们可以更好地理解美国资本主义。从它的创立、创新以及通过收购和兼并实现的指数级增长开始，科汉深入挖掘了通用电气传奇的管理文化、其开创性的股东价值学说以及其看似隐蔽的盲点，揭示了通用电气并没有从许多其他公司的傲慢和可避免的错误中幸免。

在《权力的失败》中，科恩戳穿了通用电气的神话，以丰富的叙事方式探讨了一个曾经伟大的公司是如何破败不堪的--这是一个值得警惕的时代故事。

The dramatic rise--and unimaginable fall--of America's most iconic corporation by New York Times bestselling author and pre-eminent financial journalist William D. Cohan

No company embodied American ingenuity, innovation, and industrial power more spectacularly and more consistently than the General Electric Company. GE once developed and manufactured many of the inventions we take for granted today, nearly everything from the lightbulb to the jet engine. GE also built a cult of financial and leadership success envied across the globe and became the world's most valuable and most admired company. But even at the height of its prestige and influence, cracks were forming in its formidable foundation.

In a masterful re-appraisal of a company that once claimed to "bring good things to life," pre-eminent financial journalist William D. Cohan argues that the incredible story of GE's rise and fall is not only a paragon, but also a prism through which we can better understand American capitalism. Beginning with its founding, innovations, and exponential growth through acquisitions and mergers, Cohan plumbs the depths of GE's storied management culture, its pioneering doctrine of shareholder value, and its seemingly hidden blind spots, to reveal that GE wasn't immune from the hubris and avoidable mistakes suffered by many other corporations.

In Power Failure, Cohan punctures the myth of GE, exploring in a rich narrative how a once-great company wound up broken and in tatters--a cautionary tale for the ages.
