Synopsis

An information-intensive world guarantees us constantly accelerating rates of change and unrelenting professional and personal vulnerability. Rather than face the high risk environment of today's business world, too many corporate leaders still like to delude themselves that they are still living in a low-risk world. This book sets out to remove the reader's panic and confusion about what it takes to become successful in the competitive environment of the '90s, and to reveal the secrets of making quick, effective decisions.
