The story of Ken Olsen, computer pioneer--the man who created Digital Equipment Corporation, the company that took computers out from beyond the glass walls and allowed users to interact with them in real time, paving the way for personal computers. Olsen's story is also one of unique organizational style, the use of matrix management which created an environment where employees were highly valued and rarely fired or laid off. From an initial $75,000 investment, Olsen lead Digital Equipment Corporation to $14 billion in annual revenues and after 35 years, was forced to resign his Presidency. A fascinating and modern day "Camelot".
