Firestarters: Igniting the Entrepreneurial Organisation

The authors, founders of a media content and consultancy firm, examine the best elements of both the start-up and corporate worlds to describe an organization where resources flow to the best new ideas. They explore old and new organizational models, local networking, and the importance of values and goals. The authors have written several books on business, both together and separately, and contribute to The Times and leading business magazines. Annotation c.
