RESOURCES

We have tried to pull together a range of helpful material, some of which is not generally available on the bookshelves or through business schools.
The material is arranged into 2 sections:

Structured materials and guides, questionnaires and cases.
References to interesting research, articles and books, which might help to counter the mass of proselytising and propaganda on the market and in the press.
