Publisher's Synopsis
This book charts the course of business decisions over the last twenty-five years that led to some of New Zealand's worst losses and greatest successes. Through Bathurst's expert analysis, patterns emerge for what makes good business and good corporate governance. From the stories of success and failure, Ralph Bathurst draws valuable lessons for executives, board members, shareholders, management students and, most importantly, business owners. Leaning to recognise good business-making patterns and following in the footsteps of our most successful corporations could well lead other New Zealand businesses to national and global success.
