About this book

This book is not just about corporate strategies and stratagems: it is about the 'Faustian' pact between real and financial powers, governed by the rules of 'minimizing the costs to oneself of imposing losses upon others'. It is more than about limited rationality and irrationality: it is about unlimited rationalisations and limited accountability.

About the author

Arthur Wassenberg is currently Emeritus visiting Professor in International Negotiations at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His previous positions include working for the strategic network-management chair as Associate Professor at the Erasmus University/Rotterdam School of Management.
