This is in turn accelerating the West's economic decline versus the East. While the short-term focus of business is becoming widely acknowledged, we are not doing enough to reverse this. Looking at the less known history of companies shows us the choices we can no longer afford to ignore. Some current reforms need to go further and some areas that need reform are currently being ignored. Encouraging our businesses to invest again is one of the most important issues of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Fitzjohn-Sykes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845408349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845408343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imprint Academic (Ips)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Laurie Fitzjohn-Sykes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930893631743,"sku":"9781845408343","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af051f7c-1432-4002-875b-499190f32d40.jpg?v=1766345007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playing-the-long-game-laurie-fitzjohn-sykes-9781845408343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
