252 pages, 2014
Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles, and Beto Sicupira have built the biggest empire in the history of Brazilian capitalism. Over the past five years, they have acquired no fewer than three globally-recognized American brands: Budweiser, Burger King, and Heinz.
This has been achieved as discreetly as possible and they have shunned any personal publicity. The management method they developed, which has been zealously followed by their employees, is based on meritocracy, simplicity, and constant cost-cutting.
Their culture is as efficient as it is merciless and leaves no room for mediocre performances. On the other hand, those who bring in exceptional results have the chance to become company partners and make a fortune.
