About this title

Synopsis

This text highlights the best ways managers, firms and societies can adapt to exploit the opportunities and avoid the dangers inherent with change. It examines how the 21st century will appear to managers and corporations and what they will have to do to be winners. Based around the Institute of Management's Management in the Millennium Report by Tom Cannon, which identifies the nine main paradoxes facing managers in the 21st century, the book shows how these paradoxes will affect the business of companies and the lives of managers.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
