Greco, Jr., President and CEO, Direct Marketing Association "This book is one of the most original and thorough discourses I have seen on how business ideas from multiple functional areas can be integrated. It is lucidly written and provides many, many insights for managers, as well as more academically oriented readers in search of grounding. A remarkable contribution to the literature that not only makes one think deeper and broader about business but provides concrete ways to effectively approach and model the pressing business issues of the day."--Richard P.
