Alternate Titles

• How humane values and an entrepreneurial spirit will lead us into the future

Description

"The modern business world is in dire need of a complete overhaul if companies are to adapt to an environment that is far different from the one in which they initially achieved success." "Enter Reinhard Mohn, the innovative entrepreneur who built Bertelsmann into a global powerhouse. Drawing on his more than fifty years of experience in the private sector, Mohn explains how entrepreneurial leaders have a unique ability to lead businesses into the future by adapting to new socioeconomic realities. He shows how private businesses have become increasingly connected to both politics and the public sector, making the need for constant change necessary to the survival and success of all companies. Furthermore, Mohn demonstrates why, in order to thrive in the future, business - as well as governmental and social organizations - must abandon the obsolete practices they have long relied on, creating instead new ways of doing business to adapt to our ever more mutable world."--BOOK JACKET.
