Business Climate Shifts [EPUB ebook] 

First published in 1999. Business Climate Shifts: Profiles of Change Makers contains a wealth of CEO wisdom about how companies today can successfully manage change in response to rapidly changing business conditions. Includes a compelling overview of the factors and forces driving rapid and often ‘discontinuous’ change in business today – e.g. globalization, the disruptive influence of new technologies, growing electronic connectivity among far flung financial markets, and the rise of e-business among others — and assesses the short and long-term significance of these trends for the long-term viability of companies in all industries. Among the ‘change makers’ profiled in this book: Lord Colin Marshall, Chairman of British Airways; Robert Bauman, former CEO of Smith Kline Beecham; Bill Henderson, U.S. Postmaster General; Jane Garvey, Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration; Fred Poses, President of Allied Signal; Sir Richard Evans, Chairman of British Aerospace; and Errol Marshall, CEO of Shell South Africa, among others.
