It is a story of using "soft powers," persuasion, and ingenuity, working with, and around, emerging technologies to eliminate barriers to success. This book provides an extraordinary look into how a little startup with grit and perseverance succeeded in the face of overwhelming odds and revolutionized many of what are now accepted transportation and supply chain practices. Po Chung, DHL International co-founder, and Roger Bowie, former DHL Worldwide Services Director, discuss how DHL paved the way for one day international package delivery and how they have maintained their global leadership position against powerful American titans. 606 $aSuccess in business 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aInternational business enterprises 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSuccess in business. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 700 $aChung$b Po$01040745 702 $aChung$b Po 702 $aBowie$b Roger 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467408903321 996 $aDHL$92463866 997 $aUNINA
