From the Publisher:

Praise for Corporate Instinct: "Koulopoulos has utilized his wide experience as an entrepreneur and top management advisor to add a completely new perspective on the phenomenon of corporate success. The idea of corporate instinct is a strong antidote to the 'tried and true' management concepts that simply don't work any longer." - Geoffrey James, Author, Success Secrets from Silicon Valley, Business Wisdom of the Electronic Elite

"Corporate Instinct provides a profound contribution to better understanding the evolution of businesses as they attempt to meet the competitive challenges in today's marketplace. This is a must-read for all executives who want to better understand the inextricable linkage between organizational success and the effectiveness of the people within the organization, and to allow them to successfully lead their organizations into the future." - Edward G. Lewis, Former Assistant Secretary for Information Resources Management in the Bush Administration

"The book moves fast; and, at the conclusion, the reader feels that a tour de force briefing has just occurred, that Koulopoulos has something valuable to say which must be shared with others." - Tom Brown, Publisher of the MANAGEMENT GENERAL online (www.mgeneral.com) newsletter.
