Signed First Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket. 204 pages. Measures 6" x 8.5". Signed in pen by both George Davis and Glegg Watson on the front free endpaper. The book collects over 160 interviews to convey black life in corporate America. From the front flap: "This is the first in-depth look at the professional and personal lives of black men and women trying to 'make it' in a world created by and for white males." The authors were asked to create and teach a course based on the book's insights for two terms at the Yale School of Organization and Management, making it the first course in the nation in multicultural management. Black and white photo of authors featured on the back cover. Dime-sized stain on corner of front free endpaper, but cover is clean, textblock tight, overall, in very good condition.
