Description
This bold and thought-provoking challenge to American business explains how by breaking the frame of outdated organizational forms, businesses can break free of the systemic forces holding them back and face the complex ethical demands of business now and in the twenty-first century. Proposes a strikingly new and different design for organizations based on four key dimensions of business life and success: knowledge and learning, recovery and development, service and spirituality, and operations.
