|| Paperback || Menno Spaan || Warden Press || met inkijkexemplaar

2023 || Paperback || Urmas Paet || John Harper Publishing Ltd

The inescapable conclusion is that in foreign policy the EU, while a source of ceaseless...

The ABC of Business Models

2016 || Paperback || Michel A.R. Schelkens || Brave New Books

Multiple Business Model concepts exists, but are not actively used in daily business life and the bridge to controlling is never made.
In this book, I want to answer three questions: What is i...
