After surviving the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, Victoria refuses to leave this earth before revealing the secrets she's carried for decades. Once the child of a loving family during peaceful times, a shocking death shattered her life. Victoria had to come face to face with the harshness of the world. As the warm days of childhood receded to distant memory, Victoria learns to survive. No matter what it takes. To keep her family alive in an Oklahoma blighted by dust storms and poverty, Victoria makes choices--harsh ones, desperate ones. Ones that eventually made her into the woman her grandchildren fear and whisper about. Ones that kept them all alive. Hers is a tale of tragedy, love, murder, and above all, the conviction to never stop fighting.Edge of NowhereFictionArmstrong Catherine947597BOOK9910156215703321The Edge of Nowhere3592424UNINA04054nam 22005775 450 991033780970332120240701123429.09783319995991331999599510.1007/978-3-319-99599-1(CKB)4100000007103012(DE-He213)978-3-319-99599-1(MiAaPQ)EBC5628008(PPN)231464827(OCoLC)1059514058(Perlego)3482224(EXLCZ)99410000000710301220181026d2019 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierImplanting Strategic Management /by H.

Institutionalizing Strategic Responsiveness.Coming more than 25 years after the last edition, this edition of the groundbreaking Ansoff work on the concepts and practical implementation of strategic management provides up-to-date case studies and simplified figures and offers a comprehensive approach to guiding firms through turbulent environments. In this age of digital transformation, the ability to respond quickly and strategically to unpredictable change can determine the success or failure of the firm. As an organization becomes more successful at implementing change, the ability to respond to changes in the environment will be entrenched in its culture. This book is based on a strategic success model which demonstrates how to optimize a firm's performance. For managers, students, and researchers wanting a step-by-step methodology on how to analyze a firm, this book will serve as an invaluable resource for thinking and acting strategically.Strategic planningLeadershipIndustrial organizationBusiness Strategy and LeadershipOrganizationStrategic planning.Leadership.Industrial organization.Business Strategy and Leadership.Organization.658.4092Ansoff H.
