Description

Companies are now not in a race to produce, so much as a race to learn, and those who lead must learn most - and most quickly. The central pillar of this learning process is an organization's ability to resolve dilemmas that appear and reappear in constantly changing forms. This book discusses the dilemmas facing business leaders and presents a tried and tested learning system which different companies can adapt to fit their own circumstances. Successful users include Shell Oil, Apple Computer, and Hanover Insurance. This book is at once a challenge to accepted western business assumptions and a major practical strategy statement for organizations determined to succeed.
