Managing Corporate Growth [Hardcover]

As economic growth in Western countries shows signs of fatigue, companies are battling hard to discover how to generate and sustain corporate growth.

Corporate efficiency is indispensable, but is not a sufficient condition for corporate survival. Firms need to think about their future growth.
