Management Lessons from the Great Explorers
Autor Ralph L. Kliemen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 feb 2022
Management Lessons from the Great Explorers selects the most famous, and in some cases infamous, explorers to discuss and analyze the good and bad management practices—even though these explorers may have never called them management practices—they used before, during, and even after their expeditions.
