Jack Welch Libri

La seconda si volge all'esterno, alla concorrenza, con alcuni capitoli dedicati alla strategia, alle fusioni e al metodo Six Sigma. La terza ha per oggetto la gestione della carriera.

Since the Dark Ages, when Scots first played a form of golf, no sport has captivated its players and fans like this one.
