Rezensionen

"It is an anthology of some of the most farsighted business writers around." "Reading Organization of the Future is like browsing full a shelf full of best-selling management books." (Across the Board, July/August 1997) 20020612

"This book of essays is full of rampant idealism. Its authors--educators, think-tankers, corporate executives, consultants, book authors, nonprofit association executives, and a German politician--share a desire to better the world through their ideas and actions. Many qualify as do-gooders in the best sense of the phrase." -Christian Science Monitor
