Businesses, tangled in the interwoven threads of galloping globalization, technological advances, cultural diversity, economic recession and deep-rooted human social evolution, struggle to keep up with incessant changes; consequently and inexorably experiencing severe difficulties and disorientation. Executives, much bewildered, habitually turn to conventional, time-honoured strategies and practices, which increasingly fail to offer the much-sought answers and means to survival, competitiveness and growtOrganizational changeElectronic books.Organizational change.658.406Vrontis Demetris861080Thrassou Alkis995815MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452514503321Innovative business practices2281801UNINA05151nam 2200637 a 450 991087774230332120200520144314.01-280-27132-997866102713200-470-30890-70-470-86150-90-470-86151-7(CKB)111087027140028(EBL)155659(OCoLC)52595638(SSID)ssj0000180884(PQKBManifestationID)11165467(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000180884(PQKBWorkID)10158138(PQKB)10187292(MiAaPQ)EBC155659(EXLCZ)9911108702714002820031217d2003 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrInterfacial supramolecular assemblies /Johannes G.
