A tale of vision and hard work

From a one-car garage company to a multibillion-dollar industry, the rise of Hewlett-Packard is an extraordinary tale of vision, innovation and hard work. Established in 1939, Hewlett-Packard earned success as a result of its engineering know-how, its cutting-edge product ideas, and the unique management style it developed. Decades before today's creative management trends, Hewlett-Packard invented such strategies as 'walk-around management', 'flextime' and 'quality cycles'. Its steady growth far outshone its competitors.
