"This original selection of case studies from eight new EU member countries looks at the ability of entrepreneurs to develop innovative and successful firms in an environment of turbulent social and economic change." "The Cutting Edge focuses on the innovative potential that these transition country environments provide and how entrepreneurs have been able to convert these possibilities into successful businesses. The contributors highlight specific aspects of the interplay between the institutional setting and the environment. They also elucidate the individual characteristics of the entrepreneur that create an enabling context for innovative behaviour to develop and grow, drawing attention to the opportunities and constraints offered in each environment." "This book provides invaluable insights for academics and researchers of entrepreneurship as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students of international business and entrepreneurship. It will also provide a stimulating and important read for people conducting business in Europe."--BOOK JACKET.

"In Ethics in Educational Leadership Programs, Lynn Beck and Joseph Murphy examine the educational administration programs of 42 universities regarding their policies on ethical concerns for administrators." "The authors open with a discussion of the different philosophies of moral leadership, followed by a historical overview of research and of the ebb and flow of past interest in ethics in administration. Beck and Murphy then select 13 of the 42 universities and present an in-depth evaluation of their survey findings, describing and comparing the goals and objectives, themes, activities, and philosophies of the courses taught." "Ethics in Educational Leadership Programs is a unique book that argues resolutely for inquiry and for the acceptance of scientific approaches to the study of ethical issues in educational administration."--BOOK JACKET.

With the idea of writing a magazine article on what had to be the business world's longest-running lucky streak, I came to CA for a week. I stayed the better part of a year. What I found was a company so revolutionary that it had put aside the dusty principles of American business totalitarianism and laughed off all the new panaceas. CA's formula was so simple it seemed ridiculous ... the perpetual elasticity of such relentless self-renewal that even those within CA were too busily involved in it to be aware of what it was. "It's just good people," Charles Wang told me. I though he was being disingenuous. He wasn't. It is. They are. And this is the story of how they got that way.
