Recenzje

"We can only try to encourage the reading public in general, as well as managers in particular, interested in these areas of the world, to spend some time examining them in greater depth in such publications than just in summaries and glosses in the financial press and other related media. Scholars, MBAs and doctoral students will find much that is intellectually stimulating in the above works reviewed here". - Malcolm Warner, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge
