The American Corporation and its New Relationships
全球竞争压力迫使美国公司改变与竞争对手、供应商和政府的关系，从对抗性短期合同转向合作、长期、灵活的模式，并探讨如何有效管理这一转型。
The pressures of global competition are forcing radical changes on American corporations. Taken together, these changes constitute a radically different pattern of relationships with competitors, suppliers, and government. In place of adversarial, short-term, contractual, and rigid relationships are ones which are more cooperative, intimate, long-term, consensual, and flexible. The transition is shocking to many managers who find it hard to adjust old assumptions to conform to the new reality. The authors present ways to effectively manage the transition to new relationships for competitiveness.
