Features: For today's managers, the future of the enterprise is unpredictable. Although modern management systems have been in operation for over 100 years, the rapid changes brought by information technology and market globalization have led to even fiercer competition. Traditional businesses of the 20th century cannot adapt to these dynamic requirements, while the new demands from customers, employees, and society itself are forcing modern enterprises to be unique. The essence of the ideas presented in "Mastering Change" by Jerry I???? Wied and Jamile Mayne is the cornerstone for all enterprises to possess the qualities needed to survive and thrive in the 21st century. This new type of enterprise is agile, learning-oriented, thinks and acts globally, connects all its activities to the internet, delivers what customers need, creates value for stakeholders, and encourages employees to make decisions. Based on eight years of in-depth and extensive research conducted by the SEI Advanced Management Research Center at the Wharton School, "Mastering Change" reveals the framework of real-world qualities that are essential for 21st-century enterprises to achieve success.
