Rezensionen

"Mats Larsson has written an important book with wide scope and a precise message we must organise for a potentially dire future. It is a future without enough energy if we continue to pretend it is OK to do 'business as usual'. His important insight is that we, globally, must develop new organisational capacities to manage massive change if we are to survive. A must read!" -John Kidd, Research Fellow, Aston Business School
