With reference to Heidegger’s existence oriented philosophy, this book indicates how nothing can be a condition for an entrepreneurial applicable paradigm.

Recenzje

"Governments and business practitioners must think afresh about their place in the world. The old ways of doing business are no longer credible. This book will help you to think about yourself and your business in a totally new way. It opens for you the world of phenomenology. It is not about helping you to do things better, it is about helping you to think about your place amongst those the things you are doing." –Robert Shaw, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou
