Synopsis

Diplomarbeit, die am 05.06.2001 erfolgreich an einer Internationale Wirtschaftshochschule in Niederlande im Fachbereich International Management eingereicht wurde. Abstract: "In an economy where the only certainty is uncertainty, the sure source of lasting competitive advantage is knowledge."
