Armed with these straightforward principles, any organization can achieve the high-impact responsiveness demanded by today's ultra-competitive, fast-changing business environments.In Corps Business, author David H. Freedman brings these principles--and their application to the business world--to light in clear, fascinating form.

The Marines are here to help.With a foreword by Gen. Charles C. Krulak, Thirty-first Commandant of the United States Marine Corps.
