Business Climate Shifts: Profiles Of Change Makers

Description: 'Business Climate Shifts: Profiles of Change Makers' contains a wealth of CEO wisdom about how companies today can successfully manage change in response to rapidly changing business conditions. It includes a compelling overview of the factors and forces driving rapid and often 'discontinuous' change in business today - e.g. globalization, the disruptive influence of new technologies, growing electronic connectivity among far flung financial markets, and the rise of e-business among others - and assesses the short and long-term significance of these trends for the long-term viability of companies in all industries. Among the 'change makers' profiled in this book: Lord Colin Marshall, Chairman of British Airways; Robert Bauman, former CEO of SmithKline Beecham; Bill Henderson, U.S. Postmaster General; Jane Garvey, Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration; Fred Poses, President of AlliedSignal; Sir Richard Evans, Chairman of British Aerospace; and Errol Marshall, CEO of Shell South Africa, among others. This book features interviews with some of the most significant transformational leaders of our time. Foreword is written by Warren Bennis. This book contains in-depth analyses of what's required to ensure successful and sustainable transformation.
