Description:

Based on his experience of working for IBM, his later role as a self-employed consultant, and finally his responsibilities as senior vice president for NationsBank, Romaine makes it clear that the issues leading to the collapse of Enron were not isolated events. Soldier of Fortune 500 explores corporate cronyism between executives and their consultants, and builds a convincing case of how, without the proper safeguards, such cosy relationships can lead to pervasive problems, placing stockholders, employees, and the future viability of the American corporation at risk. This book is a must read for corporate managers, employees, and anyone involved with the consulting business.
