About this listen

What do Ford, Disney, Amazon, and Netflix have in common?
They didn’t just build businesses.
They transformed the way the world works, thinks, consumes, and dreams.

In Top 10 Companies That Changed the Business World Forever, Norelle Kaften takes you on a compelling journey through ten revolutionary organisations that redefined global commerce and reshaped human experience. From assembly lines to algorithms, from hamburgers to Hollywood, these companies pioneered new models of innovation, efficiency, and impact. Their influence is so deeply embedded in our everyday lives that it’s easy to forget it all started with bold ideas, disruptive visions, and a refusal to follow the rules.

This book isn’t about business as usual.
It’s about those who dared to do things differently—and succeeded on a massive scale.

We begin with Ford Motor Company, where Henry Ford’s vision of the moving assembly line changed not only car production but manufacturing as a whole. With it, the world learned how to make more, faster, and cheaper—an idea that shaped entire industries.

Then we step into the world of McDonald’s, the fast-food empire that created a global standard for service, consistency, and franchising. The golden arches aren’t just a symbol of food—they’re a case study in systemised success.

From there, we dive into IBM, the digital pioneer that ushered in the information age long before it became a buzzword. Its mainframes and early computing systems didn’t just process data—they laid the foundation for modern business technology.
