Produktbeschreibung

Hier wird erklärt, wie sich Unternehmen ein computergestütztes "Frühwarnsystem" aufbauen können, das eine schnelle, effektive und adäquate Reaktion auf Druck von außen ermöglicht. Eindrucksvolle Fallbeispiele aus Unternehmen wie Shell (Brent Spar), Nestle (genmanipulierte Soja) oder den Schweizer Banken (Nazi-Gold) illustrieren die Gedanken der Autoren. This book guides managers in forecasting the effects of outside pressure groups-a hot corporate topic in the media lately-and advises them on how best to avoid potential damage to their organization s public image and financial health.
