Christensen’s book collapses the so-called fact and fiction that separate the characters’ interior and exterior spaces.

GM has also indicated that it is pricing the vehicle aggressively - that is, slightly under the competition - in an effort to win over...
...speaks with measured confidence but betrays no ostentation. Her office, situated on the 16th floor of the Boston Federal Reserve Building, is adorned with little more than a few family photographs, three flat-panel monitors sitting atop her desk, and a comfortable view of Boston Harbor.But beneath her unobtrusive exterior, Mendillo, CEO of Harvard Management Company, harbors a wealth of investment knowledge.
