Synopsis

This book compiles some of the best of The Report on Business Magazine's articles, each of which illustrates companies and leaders that have" mastered" change-for example, Matthew Barrett and the Bank of Montreal; Issy Sharpe and Four Seasons, Ian Delaney and Sherritt. Sixteen articles cover the whole spectrum of Canadian Businesses from resources to high technology and a wide variety of issues, problems, and strategies. They cover nationally-known figures, such as Vic Young and Joe Houssian. But all these leaders have one key attribute in common-imagination, without which it is impossible to be a master of change.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

MASTERS OF CHANGE Profiles of Canadian Businesses Thriving in Turbulent Times

The business world, like every other sector of society, is caught up in a whirlwind of change: technological change; increased trade; the decreasing importance of national boundaries; flattened corporate management structures; diminished job security; new knowledge-based jobs and fewer qualified people; increased competition; and demographic change.

From Paper Chasers to Miracle on the North Shore. From Izzy Vision to The Bombardier Express. From banking to software manufacturing to food retailing to ski resorts, Masters of Change contains 15 articles from Report on Business Magazine, each of which illustrates companies and leaders that have "mastered" change, such as Vic Young at Fishery Products International, Joe Houssian at Intrawest, and Ian Delaney at Sherritt. All the leaders profiled have one key attribute in common---imagination, without which it is impossible to be a master of change.

Daniel Stoffman has written a foreword to place each article within the context of what is happening in Canada and throughout the world that is challenging the company, industry or people profiled, and to update details of the story in the afterword to tie the articles together. Daniel Stoffman has written on business and other subjects for several Canadian magazines. He is the co- author, along with David Foot, of the bestselling Boom, Bust & Echo: How to Profit From the Coming Demographic Shift.
