Ackoff, delivers this indispensable guide for those hoping to beat these oddsand to better navigate the corporate challenges of the next millennium.While most business and management schools continue to teach the functions of a corporation separatelyproduction, marketing, finance, personnelthe reality is that for a corporation to endure each division must work with the others to create an effective system.
