Yet there are many excellent, privately held companies marching to the beat of a different drum; they have stricken revenue and profit growth from the top of their mission statements. Instead, they define themselves by their passion for their products and their commitment to their employees, customers, and community--embracing a clarity and loyalty to purpose that's an anomaly in today's environment. This book is about the unconventional people who run these purpose-driven companies, consistently profitable yet consciously resisting convention by staying small and great instead of becoming large and mediocre.--From publisher description. 000312367 650_0 $$aSmall business$$zUnited States$$xManagement. 000312367 650_0 $$aPrivate companies$$zUnited States$$xManagement. 000312367 650_0 $$aClose corporations$$zUnited States$$xManagement. 000312367 650_0 $$aSuccess in business$$zUnited States. 000312367 85200 $$bgen$$hHD62.7$$i.B835$$i2005 000312367 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:312367$$pGLOBAL_SET 000312367 980__ $$aBIB 000312367 980__ $$aBOOK 000312367 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
