    • News from the real world

    These management news stories are provided by moreover.com culled from a wide range of global news sources. If the real world is as revelant as it claims to be, the list will have something in it that illustrates a good or a bad example of strategy development and the difficulties of dealing with motivated competitors. Like the world, the list changes daily.
