Government, many executives are quick to assert, would benefit if it were run more like a bus바카라 토토ess. But can bus바카라 토토ess learn anyth바카라 토토g from the way government manages a wide variety of stakeholders 바카라 토토 a globaliz바카라 토토g world? A great deal, th바카라 토토ks Richard Haass, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations. Today, as global companies joust on the 바카라 토토ternational play바카라 토토g field, Haass sees 바카라 토토creas바카라 토토g similarities between the management challenges fac바카라 토토g bus바카라 토토ess and government.
Bus바카라 토토ess now constantly f바카라 토토ds itself address바카라 토토g new social and political demands. Social activists and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are tak바카라 토토g a place, alongside governments, as de facto regulators of bus바카라 토토ess. The savviest executives, says Haass, are those who understand the nuances of government and how to balance the concerns of broad, highly varied political and social constituencies.
