Reviews

...best business book of the year...deserves to be a classic... Nobody, it can now be said, is fully fit to run a modern firm until they have read The Modern Firm . The Economist At BP we have found John Roberts' ideas and concepts to be powerful, and we have used them in addressing the issues we face... I am pleased that these ideas have been made available in a systematic fashion in this timely book. Sir John Browne, Group Chief Executive, BP plc
