Yet there are many excellent, privately held companies marching to the beat of a different drum; they have stricken revenue and profit growth from the top of their mission statements. Instead, they define themselves by their passion for their products and their commitment to their employees, customers, and community--embracing a clarity and loyalty to purpose that's an anomaly in today's environment. This book is about the unconventional people who run these purpose-driven companies, consistently profitable yet consciously resisting convention by staying small and great instead of becoming large and mediocre. 4aNegocios xAdministración zEstados Unidos 910865 4aEmpresas privadaszEstados Unidos 910208 4aSociedades cerradas zEstados Unidos 910209 4aÉxito en los negocioszEstados Unidos 9162 4aCrecimiento empresarial910864 4aCorporaciones cerradas 910866423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0720/2005051487-d.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0720/2005051487-b.html a7bcbccorignewd1eocipf20gy-gencatlg 2lcccBK 00102lcc40708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2019-11-26l0oHD 62.7 B961s 2005p00000140197r2019-11-26 00:00:00t1w2019-11-26yBK
