Praise for THE SAIC SOLUTION
 
"I have known Dr. Beyster for more than four decades and have long admired him--as a scientist, a manager, and as a person. This book provides a rare glimpse of the inner workings of Dr. Beyster's highly effective business practices, and it is essential reading for anyone who hopes to build a business that makes a profit--and makes a difference."
--Melvin R. Laird U.S. Secretary of Defense (1969-73)Senior Counselor for National and International Affairs The Reader's Digest Association, Inc.
 
"The SAIC story needs to be told, and Robert Beyster is the one to tell it. It is a success story of technical innovation, entrepreneurship, employee ownership, and great business practices."
--William J. Perry U.S. Secretary of Defense (1994-1997)
 
"A must-read for those interested in improving productivity of their employees in a global economy. Dr. Beyster truly created large-scale employee ownership in the United States."
--B. R. Inman Admiral, U. S. Navy (Ret.)
 
"SAIC is the exemplar of the 'workers make value' modern business. The SAIC Solution is a valuable reminder that firms can be great by doing what is right, and offers lessons on how to do it. Boards of directors, CEOs, and shareholders: read this book and ask if your firm could do better operating the SAIC way."
--Dr. Richard Freeman Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics, Harvard University
 
"When the respected founders of today's leading high-tech companies were still in grammar school, J. Robert Beyster had already figured out that sharing ownership with employees would be a critical part of building a company where people worked together at solving problems in teams, backed with knowledge and research. This is a detailed, practical, and visionary description of the company that emerged, just as relevant to the current generation of entrepreneurs as to the next."
--Professor Joseph Blasi School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University
