Aperçu
Base your company’s strategy on a set of lived values to thrive in a competitive 21st-century business environment.

Drawing on ancient Japanese teachings about collective responsibility and righteous living, the authors explain how to base strategy on a set of lived values to thrive in a competitive 21st-century business environment.
