Through entertaining stories and astute analysis, it discusses how plasticity's principles--adaptability, flexibility, fluid networks and roles, lofty goals, and innovation, among others--and the set of abilities for plasticity called the Magic 7--purpose, focus, culture, spirit, networking, knowledge and leadership--are used: to achieve operational excellence; to eliminate wasteful efforts, groupthink, and a reliance on cash cows for revenue and profit; to create more vibrant and creative enterprises; to power up innovative thinking and products; and to respond faster and better to market signals. --}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4302-6748-5}, recid = {1467629}, pages = {1 online resource (x, 150 pages) :}, }
