How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Warps our Economies

2024 || Paperback || Mariana Mazzucato e.a. || Veltman Distributie Import Books

There is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today which must change.
