Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

A far-reaching analysis of the key strategies with which Europe’s most successful companies are leading the field.

In business, Europe appears to have lagged behind America and Asia. But Europe’s business leaders are now restructuring, expanding, and forming new alliances in a series of highly competitive moves. These sweeping changes are creating a new kind of company – and a new kind of manager – that can compete successfully at the fiercest global level, and win.

Heller is the first to penetrate and analyse the very heart of European management to reveal the key strategies driving these top companies forward.

Drawing on a wide variety of case histories (M&S, ABB, Nokia, Mercedes-Benz, Unilever, Heineken and Zeneca among them) he applies rigorous theory and many years’ experience to illustrate the vital lessons companies – and their managers – must learn if they are to stay ahead of the competition.

Contraportada

In business, Europe appears to have lagged behind America and Asia. Its companies have been slow to exploit the new technologies and philosophies of organization and achievement. But while debate rages on about a federal Europe, Europe's business leaders are creating it under our noses. Restructuring, expanding forming new alliances, they are redrawing the map in a series of highly competitive moves. These sweeping changes are creating a new kind of company – and a new kind of manager – that can compete successfully at the fiercest level, and win.

Robert Heller is the first to penetrate the very heart of European management to reveal and analyse the key strategies driving the top companies forward. These companies are fast on their feet, flexible, adventurous, responsive and constantly improving.

Drawing on a variety of case studies, 'In Search of European Excellence' is a far-reaching 'tour de force' which illustrates the vital lessons companies – and their managers – must learn if they are to stay ahead of the competition.
