Pourquoi certaines entreprises, affichant des performances plutôt moyennes, décollent-elles soudain pour rejoindre le peloton de tête ? Qu'est-ce qui les différencie de leurs concurrentes ?

The book includes the original text of Beyond Entrepreneurship, as well as four new chapters and fifteen new essays. BE 2.0 pulls together the key concepts across Collins' thirty years of research into one integrated framework called The Map. The result is a singular reading experience, which presents a unified vision of company creation that will fascinate not only Jim's millions of dedicated readers worldwide, but also introduce a new generation to his remarkable work" --Amazon
