Inside Intel:
Andy Grove and the
Rise of the World's
Most Powerful
Chip Company
INTEL CORPORATION, the world's biggest and most powerful
chip company, is a stunningly successful business by any
measure. What is its secret: Technological innovation? Or
aggressive marketing, tough business tactics, and liberal
use of legal firepower?
AS NEWSPAPER columnist Tim Jackson reveals in the
hottest new business book of the year, the corporate culture
built into the company by chairman Andy Grove is
hard-driving and authoritarian. Inside Intel chronicles the
real story behind Intel's rise to global dominance -- showing
how it made its x86 processors the industry standard,
scattering competitors and imitators in its wake. 'Only the
paranoid survive', Andy Grove's personal motto, has been
put into effect at Intel more literally than most outsiders
realize.
THIS ISN'T just a success story. The Pentium scandal of 1994
is the company's most famous screw-up. But there are
others. Although Intel sold the world's first commercial
microprocessor in 1971,* the company took years to
recognize that processors, not DRAMs, were its main
business. Intel was slow to catch on to the PC revolution. It
turned down a chance to own the leading PC operating
system. It plunged into losses in the mid-1980s when faced
with Japanese competition in its memory business. And it
spent seven years fighting a costly but indecisive legal
battle with rival chipmaker AMD.
AT THE CENTER of the company's story is Andrew S. Grove,
Intel's chairman. A Hungarian immigrant who survived
persection under both Hitler and Stalin, Grove waited tables
to put himself through college and win a PhD. Contrary to
the official history, Grove was only the fourth man at Intel's
foundation in 1968. But he began to stamp his rigorous,
aggressively intellectual style on the business from day one.
The Intel that dominates the world's PC industry today is
clearly his personal creation.
THE FIRST BOOK published in English about the company,
Inside Intel is exhaustively researched, drawing on court
records, unpublished documents, and over one hundred
interviews with important figures from Intel's history.
Jackson's narrative traces the company's string of
inventions and products, its spectacular failures and brilliant
successes, and the powerful emotions and personal
rivalries behind the commercial struggles. The book is
essential reading for anyone interested in business or
technology.
INSIDE INTEL will be published in New York in October 1997
by Penguin Puttnam under the company's Dutton imprint. It
will be published in London in November 1997 by
HarperCollins Publishers, and also in German, Korean and
Japanese. To reserve a pre-publication copy, click here.
