Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing Manes and Andrews’ 1993 biography of Microsoft’s Bill Gates. The 1993 biography “Gates: How Microsoft’s Mogul Reinvented an Industry” by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews tells the story of the rise of Bill Gates and his company Microsoft during the early years of the computer software industry. The book is lengthy and does have several personal insights offered on Gates in the authors attempt to humanize the man deemed as America’s richest man. Manes and Andrews know a great deal about the computer industry and therefore this results in a great deal of detail about Microsoft and the industry and leaves less room for information about its central character, Gates. Nevertheless, the book still does Gates justice in revealing his motivation, competitiveness, work ethic and energy which led him to the top of his industry despite surrounding controversy, tradition and competition. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
