Cummins was founded in March of 1919.

The rise of Cummins Engine Company from a tiny Indiana machine shop to one of the world's leading producers of diesel engines is a story rich with lessons for today's managers. By responding to challenges familiar to all American manufacturers with a tough competitive stance and a uniquely people-centered philosophy, Cummins has carved out a distinctive profile in the international industrial landscape.

From its early days with charismatic founder Clessie Cummins through its years under visionary leader J. Irwin Miller, to its rebuilding and renaissance with Henry Schacht and Jim Henderson, Cummins has done business with confidence and creativity. This vivid book depicts the kinds of difficult decisions--often bearing enormous consequences--that successful managers must face.

The Cummins Engine Company of today--the only survivor in the once crowded field of independent engine makers--has prospered through an unusual strategy that is at once relentlessly competitive and distinctively humanitarian. Few other companies have mastered such a dynamic and unforgiving marketplace while also building a reputation for innovative corporate philanthropy and a commitment to progressive work practices. Whether developing state-of-the-art technology, building an international distribution network, adjusting to new environmental regulations, or acknowledging community responsibilities, Cummins has remained committed to its core competencies--a strategy that has allowed it to remain firmly at the forefront of the diesel engine industry.

A compelling and important contribution to the literature of business history, The Engine that Could showcases the strategic choices and the pivotal decisions that have shaped and influenced Cummins Engine:

The struggle to maintain a consistent focus in a changing world *The ongoing development of a customer-oriented strategy *The consequences of adopting and maintaining a long-term perspective *The need to respond to accelerating change in the marketplace with both short-term measures and long-term strategies

Drawing extensively on interviews as well as archival research, the authors provide an in-depth look at a way of doing business that is unconventional, flexible, and pragmatic. They explain how the firm's business model has evolved over time, and how it has survived the pressures of a dramatically changing competitive arena.

Cummins' remarkable seventy-five year history captures much of what is interesting--and important--about the evolution of American business from the 1920s to the 1990s.

Cummins does about 10 billion dollars of business per year.
