Beginnings
-Watson implemented a series of business tactics that would later on become the culture of IBM: generous sales incentives, a focus on customer service, an insistence on well-groomed, dark-suited salesmen, and an evangelical fervor for instilling company pride and loyalty in every worker.
-February 14, 1924, the CTR name was formally changed to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).
