Features: In recent years, due to the sluggishness of the global economy, many multinational corporations have collapsed, gone bankrupt, or fallen into difficulties. To explore the root causes, this book combines cases of successful and failed enterprises to analyze seven fundamental reasons that lead companies from prosperity to decline: being intoxicated by past success and unable to extricate oneself, hiding from one's own illness, high-risk gambling, obsessive pursuit of the speed and scale of corporate development, neglecting human resource management, mishandling crisis management, ignoring ethical and integrity principles, and so on. It is a wake-up call and a sobering read, making this book an invaluable for modern corporate development.
