"Rollercoaster" ist das erste Buch auf dem Markt, das die hochst turbulente jungste Unternehmensgeschichte von Vodafone charakterisiert.

Eine flotte und spannende Geschichte, die eine der dramatischsten Perioden in der Unternehmensgeschichte widerspiegelt.

Es ist die Geschichte von Chris Gent und Vodafone.

Als der Telekomsektor zusammenbrach, geriet auch Vodafone mit in den Strudel schlechter Nachrichten: Anklagen wegen schlecht durchgefuhrter Akquisitionen, Überinvestition, und ubertrieben hohe Gehaltszahlungen fur Vodafone-Chef Chris Gent.

Autor Tevor Merriden zeichnet hier den dramatischen Aufstieg von Gent und Vodafone nach und analysiert, welche Beweggrunde beide fur ihr Handeln hatten.

Er untersucht die turbulente jungste Geschichte und stellt forschende Fragen zur Zukunft des Unternehmens.

Spannend und unterhaltsam geschrieben.
