| Summary, etc |
"Why do so many good companies engage in self-destructive behavior? This book identifies seven dangerous habits even well-run companies fall victim to - and helps you diagnose and break these habits before they destroy you. Through case studies from some of yesterday's most widely praised corporate icons, you'll learn how companies slip into "addiction" and slide off the rails ... why some never turn around ... and how others achieve powerful turnarounds, moving on to unprecedented levels of success."--BOOK JACKET. |
