interdepence key to 21st century and beyond

Even in this day and age of sophistication we must be reminded that we can still learn from the leaders who have persevered and conquered the challenges of competition in the business world. The Warren Featherbone organization has persevered to find new markets when technology and innovation took away their competitive edge. This book highlights all of the essentials that must be considered in preparing to do business in the new millenium. Mr Whalen certainly has set an example for all business leaders to emulate. Leadership is about people, having good character traits, being competant, taking charge and doing the right thing. The concept of supply chain management and the importance of all parties working together to satisfy the needs of the ultimate customer is what it is and always will be about. Bricks and mortar companies will continue to diminish if they don't open up and consider the effects of ineffective supply chain management. As the advancement of e-commerce continues to change our everyday lives we must remember that as long as demand for products exist there will be a need for manufacturing facilies to build those products. Organizations that champion the concepts discussed in this book can only expect success to crown the fruits of their efforts. Simple as the presentation of the information is in this book. There is a very special and critical message to be studied and applied by all organizations conducting business in the world today. We are all "Interdependant" upon one another.

New ways of understanding all business connections.

Gus Whalen understands our society as "the family of families" and interacts with his employees and business associates accordingly. His book provides insights into the connections among businesses and between businesses and the families of individuals who are employees and customers. The Featherbone Principle offers a new way to look at the mission of American business and a new way to engage employees and communities in business growth and social action.
