Baldock claims that rather than size leading to success, in the
future it will be the smaller, faster, more flexible companies that
will win competitive advantage. He provides managers of large
companies with a detailed plan for dealing with the challenges of
the new millennium, based on an organizational model that will help
transform a lumbering giant into a nimble, customer-driven
business. (Kirkus UK)

"Somewhere out there is a bullet with your company's name on it.
Somewhere out there is a competitor, unborn and unknown, that will

statements:
* Current mergers and acquisitions activity will continue unabated
well into the 21st century
* Flashy internet start-ups cannot threaten our core activities

next few years

quickly
