Backgrounds of this individuals and a description of their personalities and ambitions were conveyed to give the readers a good view of where these executives were coming from, and what motives they might have in relation to the actions and decisions they have made that led to the downfall of this “great company.” What also included in this literature was the way that the government and other outside entities were influenced by these men, and how they have been unable to stop the anomalies and irregularities that have been happening in the company. The book gave a great detail of the characters involving the Enron scandal. The book and the story has proven to be an interesting book as it was about one of the biggest fraud scandal in the American Economy which have caused a lot of customers and investors to lose millions of money and thousands of employees to abruptly lose their jobs and all their savings and retirement funds. The book entitled: “The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron” gave a really intriguing impression to me, and so I decided to read this book for my Entrepreneurship Class. I have never heard, or I might have forgotten about the news of Enron Corporation until I chose to read the book written by Fortune Magazine Journalists: Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind.
