The Science of Success: How Market-Based Management Built the World's Largest Private Company

By Charles Koch

Categories: Business & Money

Charles G. Koch explains Market-Based Management, the philosophy he developed to run Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in the world. The framework applies ideas from economics, such as property rights, incentives, knowledge and decision rights, to management inside a company. Koch describes how it guides vision, virtue and talent, decision making and incentives, and how mental models help leaders run an organization more effectively.
