Why you should read The New Pioneers

This book rolls out the red carpet for a new kind of economy in America - one based on cooperation rather than competition; one where employees will be encouraged to follow their own creative instincts, and one where the strongest companies will be those that can adapt to rapid-fire changes and demands. As more and more business leaders embrace the possibilities of cooperation, intimate relationships in the work environment and flexibility, the old rules of business still being taught in many MBA programs are becoming irrelevant. The New Pioneers delves into the new rules with a force of style and depth of knowledge that suggest that it will be recognized by future historians and economists as one of the books that mattered. getAbstract recommends this book to executives and entrepreneurs who play a role in guiding the direction of a company, or to students who aspire to such a role.
