Produktbeschreibung

Poor management decisions made under stress conditions can lead to the collapse of an organization. Even under non-stress conditions, certain technology uninformed management decisions can lead to situations that increase the economic burden placed on an organization. This book discusses management decision making under accident conditions by using a series of case studies and draws conclusions on how training, experience, and education can improve the strategy and response of management to reduce the probability of an economic disaster.
