Produktbeschreibung

Wie nie zuvor zählen CEOs heute zu den Berühmtheiten; sie sind Bestandteil des Selbstbewußtseins der Unternehmenswelt. Um Meinungen und Einsichten - und das nicht nur in Unternehmensfragen - aufzuspüren, wenden sich die Medien verstärkt an Spitzen-CEOs. Ein Herausgeberteam von Experten bei PricewaterhouseCoopers befriedigt hier unsere Neugier über die Männer und Frauen auf dem Höhepunkt des Erfolgs: Wie denken sie, wie managen sie ihr eigenes Unternehmen und wie setzen sie wichtige Managementideen um? Das Ergebnis ist eine Reihe von Kommentaren international bekannter CEOs zu den 8 Schlüsselgrößen der heutigen Wirtschaft: Globalisierung, Wachstum, Shareholder Value, Innovation, Organisationstalent, umwälzende Technologie, E-Business und Wissensmanagement.
