Value-added Management with Design of Experiments

This book is about survival. It is about survival in a world that is changing. It is about survival in an occupation - management - that is almost unrecognizable from the viewpoint of only a few years ago, and one that will change even more rapidly in the future. It is about the ultimate survival to...
