This book shows how organizational frame-breaking changes can be used in order for an organization to learn from its own experience and continually improve.
Longtime management scholar, educator, consultant, and businessman Andrzej Kozminski has drawn on his extensive, practical experience to provide this comparative analysis of recent changes in management in Central and Eastern Europe and in highly developed, Western countries. He provides numerous, concrete examples of enterprises operating in Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, including joint ventures and Western enterprises. Strategies, management cultures, and managers are compared as Kozminski formulates viable strategies and business opportunities for Western companies.
Yugoslav People's Army brats Jovana and Hristijan grew up in a secluded border-watch compound, dreaming of grander horizons. They get their wish in the worst way possible when Predrag, a rogue Army captain, kidnaps Jovana for no apparent reason. Hristijan manages to rescue her, but their ordeals are far from over. On the run, they uncover the shocking secret behind Jovana's upbringing: she is the chosen successor to Marsal Josip Broz Tito. With Yugoslavia on the brink of collapse, it is her duty to keep order among the country's quarrelsome nationalities - and stop the Serbs from grabbing power. There's only one tiny problem: Jovana was never trained to take on her new role as the only hope for a unified Yugoslavia. Joining forces with a hard-fighting mute girl, Jovana and Hristijan must make their way to Slovenia to prevent its secession from the Yugoslav Federation. To get there, they will have to outwit Predrag, who is determined to capture Jovana and win the approval of his Serb nationalist father. The fate of Yugoslavia now rests with a band of snarky teenagers. Armed with nothing but a few guns and an old Army truck, they are about to make their mark on history.
