The Big Store
Description
In 1972, Sears, Roebuck, and Co. was America's greatest store, accounting for over 1 percent of the gross national product. Suddenly, profits plummeted and the stock price collapsed. Sears was at civil war and in need of a new leader. In 1978, Edward R. Telling became the Sears chairman, and by 1984 Sears was back on top, bigger than ever. Telling turned things around so dramatically it seemed like a miracle. But the resurrection of Sears as a great American merchant was no miracle, but the result of the power, vision, and will of strong leadership.
Award-winning author Donald Katz, who received unprecedented and unrestricted access to Sears's records, meetings, and executives, delivers a spellbinding account that gives you a front-row seat to a corporate revolution. Katz is the founder and CEO of Audible, the leading provider of spoken audio information and entertainment.
This edition includes an updated introduction written and narrated by the author.

interesting but editing needed
narrator is first class!
I really enjoy business books and this one is a good read. the stoey is somewhat longer than. necessary with extraneous details, but rather too much than too less.
Characters interact with some friction,but not as much as one would expect
The insight to the culture and inner workings of the company were quite illuminating .

Good retail history
A very good book, but long. I think you have to have a background in retailing to really appreciate it. One part dragged, in the early part of the financial business, but otherwise kept my attention. Listened at 1.5 speed, it would have unbearable at 1.0.
