Produktbeschreibung
Battling for Competitive Advantage draws numerous parallels between the strategies and tactics used by the United States military and the challenges businesses face in the no-holds-barred competition of the global economy. Allard believes that success in this new competitive climate can be achieved by applying cutting-edge military perspectives to the everyday world of business. These tools include the traditional military arts-leadership and strategy-as well as information-age techniques such as business intelligence, enterprise security, and streamlined information-sharing. Using first-person examples from his media, military, and business experiences, Allard demonstrates how the military learned their lessons-and how businesses can profit by meeting similar challenges.
