The Rise and Fall of Wordperfect
Posted: Sun, 14 June 2009 | permalink | No comments
It's been sitting in my browser for so long that I've forgotten where I got it from, but I've just finished reading The Rise and Fall of Wordperfect Corporation, written by W. E. "Pete" Peterson, one of the very early employees of the company, and one of the top people there for many years.
It's a really interesting book, giving some insights into what it was like in the early days of "the microcomputer revolution", and with some solid observations of how to (and how not to) run a software company, and manage a very rapidly growing organisation. I'd recommend it to computer historians, software development managers, and business owners.
