Although its brown vans are on every block and its delivery service
reaches more than 200 countries, UPS is among the world's
most underestimated and misunderstood companies.
For the first time, a UPS "lifer" tells the
behind-the-scenes story of how a small messenger service became a
business giant. Big Brown reveals the remarkable 100-year
history of UPS and the life of its founder Jim Casey--one of
the greatest unknown capitalists of the twentieth century.
Casey pursued a Spartan business philosophy that emphasized
military discipline, drab uniforms, and reliability over
flash--a model that is still reflected in UPS culture
today.
Big Brown examines all the seeming paradoxes about UPS:
from its traditional management style and strict policies coupled
with high employee loyalty and strong labor relations; from its
historical "anti-marketing" bias (why brown?) to its
sterling brand loyalty and reputation for quality.
