Wang, Charles, 1944-2018 keyword: Computer Associates International Inc. -- Management ab: A profile of Charles Wang, chairman, CEO, and controlling deity of American software giant Computer Associates. Although Wang regards his programmers as the most important people in the company, he does not want any of them running the company. Computer Associates was established in 1976 by Wang and three fellow programmers at a small software firm. Through an amazing series of takeovers, it expanded from a backroom operation to become a $3.2 billion-a-year corporation employing 9,000 people, trailing only Microsoft and database king Oracle in the software field. Wang explains that unlike Microsoft and its Windows operating system, Computer Associates is practically unknown to the ordinary customer because it specializes in business software that is sold directly to large corporations. Details of the treatment of Computer Associates' staff and of Wang's relaxed approach to management are provided. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Biography src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
