Author Giles Hutchins presents the challenges to the prevailing business as usual model, explains the pressing need for transformational change, and reveals the concepts and mindsets necessary to inspire the businesses of tomorrow. Going beyond current approaches to responsible and green business, Hutchins focuses on the emergence of new ways of operating and creating value in an increasingly volatile and interconnected world. He makes the compelling case that the Firm of the Future should seek to mimic behaviours and organisations found in nature, 606 $aOrganizational effectiveness 606 $aCrisis management 606 $aSuccess in business 615 0$aOrganizational effectiveness. 615 0$aCrisis management. 615 0$aSuccess in business. 676 $a658.406 700 $aHutchins$b Giles$01561892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787304503321 996 $aNature of business$93829007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01784ojm 2200241z- 450 001 9910164244003321 005 20251113110248.0 010 $a1-5159-9985-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000001057240 035 $a(BIP)060408745 035 $a(ODN)ODN0003177114 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001057240 100 $a20231107c2017uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aChina Hand 210 $cTantor Audio 330 8 $aIn 1937, the United States still suffered in the Great Depression, as did most of the world. For the U. S. Navy, that meant restricted budgets-and the Asiatic Fleet, on the far side of the world out of sight of the Navy's commanders and the American public, was at the bottom of the list for the Navy's limited resources.Bobby MacPherson, Seaman 2nd Class, only seventeen years old and freshly graduated from radio operator school, was naively excited by his assignment to the submarine S-37 stationed with the Asiatic Fleet. The exotic places providing bases for the American Navy-Manila, Shanghai, Tsingtao-and their strange cultures, histories, and people engaged his driving curiosity and sharp mind. His outstanding athletic ability and his earnest integrity made him popular with his crewmates and officers. All of those qualities drew Bobby into a dangerous and malicious plot against the American forces in Asia; a plot involving nearly all of the competing powers in China-General Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists, Mao Tse-tung's Communists, the Imperial Japanese military occupiers of China, warlords, and ancient, powerful families who considered themselves the true rulers of China. 700 $aHomewood$b Harry$01435539 702 $aBarrett$b Joe$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910164244003321 996 $aChina Hand$93597546 997 $aUNINA
