International Directory of Business Biographies v
idbb_fm 9/27/04 9:42 AM Page v
Welcome to the International Directory of Business Biogra-
phies (IDBB). This four-volume set covers more than 600
prominent business people from around the world and is in-
tended for reference use by management students, librarians,
educators, historians, and others who seek information about
the people leading the world’s biggest and most influential
companies. The articles, all of which include bylines, were
written by a team of journalists, academics, librarians, and in-
dependent scholars. (See Notes on Contributors.) Approxi-
mately 60 percent of the entrants are American, while 40
percent are from other countries. Articles were compiled from
material supplied by companies for whom the entrants work,
general and academic periodicals, books, and annual reports.
With its up-to-date profiles of important figures from the
world of international business, IDBB complements the pop-
ular St. James Press series International Directory of Company
Histories (IDCH), which provides entries on the world’s
largest and most influential companies. Leaders of many of
the companies covered in IDCH are profiled in IDBB.
INCLUSION CRITERIA
The list of entrants in IDBB was developed by the editors
in consultation with the academics and librarians serving on
IDBB ’s advisory board. (See List of Advisers.) The majority
of people profiled here are current or recent chief executives
of large, publicly traded companies such as those found on
the Fortune 500 and Global 500 lists of companies compiled
by Fortune magazine. Among this group are familiar names
such as H. Lee Scott Jr. of Wal-Mart, Carly Fiorina of
Hewlett-Packard, John Browne of BP, and Nobuyuki Idei of
Sony. Retired or former executives like GE’s Jack Welch and
Vivendi Universal’s Jean-Marie Messier also make the list, as
do a few deceased individuals who were active in the past few
years, including Jim Cantalupo of McDonald’s and Chung
Ju-yung of Hyundai.
In addition, we have included other high-profile individu-
als whose companies are privately held or are not large enough
to make the Fortune lists but whose influence makes them
valuable candidates for study, such as Kase L. Lawal of
CAMAC Holdings, Oprah Winfrey of Harpo Productions,
and Terence Conran of Conran Holdings. We also mix in up-
and-coming executives who may not currently be chief execu-
tives but who are rapidly gaining prominence in the business
world; among this group are Indra K. Nooyi of PepsiCo and
Lachlan and James Murdoch of News Corporation. For these
latter categories, we have attempted to highlight female and
minority executives who, even in the early twenty-first centu-
ry, continue to be underrepresented in the upper echelons of
the corporate world.
Readers should note that our aim was to produce bal-
anced, objective profiles of influential executives, and individ-
uals were not disqualified if they or their companies were
enmeshed in scandal. Thus, the set includes articles about ex-
ecutives such as Ken Lay of Enron, Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco
International, and Martha Stewart of Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia, all of whom were indicted on criminal charges
in the early 2000s.
ARRANGEMENT OF SET AND ENTRY FORMAT
The four-volume set is arranged alphabetically by sur-
name. An alphabetical list of subjects is included in the front-
matter. Within each entry, readers will find the following
sections:
Fact Box: This section provides details about the subject’s birth
and death dates, birth and death locations, family informa-
tion, educational background, work history, major awards,
and publications. For entrants affiliated with a specific com-
pany at the time of publication, the Fact Box also includes the
company address and URL address, except in cases where the
subject is no longer affiliated with a company.
Main Text: This section provides a narrative overview of the sub-
ject’s life, career trajectory, and influence. The text includes
subheadings to assist the reader in navigating the key periods
in the subject’s life.
Sources for Further Information: This section lists books, arti-
cles, and Web sites containing more information about the
subject. Also included here are sources from which quotations
are drawn in the main text.
See also: At the end of most articles is a cross-reference to appli-
cable company profiles in the International Directory of Com-
pany Histories.

INDEXES
IDBB includes four indexes. The Nationality Index lists
entrants according to their country of birth, country of citi-
zenship (if different from country of birth), and country of
long-term residence. The Geographic Index lists entrants ac-
cording to the country of the headquarters of operation or the
country where the subject works (if different from country of
the headquarters); the index lists entrants according to their
employer at the time of publication as well as significant pre-
vious companies where they were employed. The Company
and Industry Index lists entrants according to their current
and former companies of employment as well the industries
in which those companies operate; in this latter index, indus-
tries are listed in small caps, while companies are listed in ro-
man font with upper- and lowercase letters. The Name Index
lists all entrants as well as other significant individuals dis-
cussed in the text.
