5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book, December 1, 1999
By J. Groen "Jerry Groen" (GURNEE, ILLINOIS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
A series of excellent articles on the new product processes. Especially recommend the article on "Make Projects the School for Leaders". A prediction for the future that many companies are beginning to experience. Highly recommended.
