Timex: A Company and Its Community, 1854-1998. Kathleen McDermott (1998). Timex Corporation has a long and colorful history. For nearly 150 years, Timex and its predecessors — Waterbury Clock, Waterbury Watch, Robt. H. Ingersoll & Bro., and U. S. Time—have been manufacturing affordable, high quality clock and watches for the American public. Each of these companies was an innovator in its day, enjoying the kind of success that Timex has known since the 1950’s. This richly illustrated book tells that story for the first time, placing Timex in the context of two centuries of American business and social history.

The New Financial Capitalists: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and the Creation of Corporate Value. George P. Baker and George David Smith (New York and Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998). Beginning in the 1980’s, KKR pioneered the “leveraged buy-out” and other financial techniques—and quickly acquired a reputation as corporate raiders for doing so. This short book places those financial techniques in context, arguing that KKR, by making managers more accountable to owners and shareholders and by re-introducing flexibility in financing, actually created long term corporate value.

Review– "Baker and Smith's work is remarkably well documented, provides a clear explanation of the successes and failures of KKR, and successfully sweats its mythically enormous profits down to size, in proportion to the high risk involved." – Contemporary European History
