Valuable lessons and insights from one of the leading and longest-running telecommunication firms in the world Nortel Networks is one of the longest-running technology growth stories. The company has been around for over a century; surviving two World Wars, the Great Depression, and numerous recessions. It has successfully made the transition from old technology to new technology several times, emerging as a world leader in the telecommunications industry. This book examines the technology and the people that have contributed to Nortel's long success--from Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone and the origins of Nortel as the manufacturing arm of Bell Telephone to production of the manually-operated telephone switchboards of the 1890s and today's digital switches. Beyond being an interesting corporate story, this book holds valuable lessons on successful management techniques, and is also of interest to investors looking for clues that will help them identify the next long-term growth company.Larry MacDonald (Ottawa, Ontario) is a regular columnist for Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, Investor's Digest, Investment Executive, and Silicon Valley North.
