<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>If the ideal for modern business is fast-reacting, hard-hitting and highly motivated, it sounds a lot like how the U.S. Marines run their business too. In "Corps Business" Freedman discusses the similarity of techniques including "the rule of three", the hard strike, and the 70 percent solution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fast. Motivated. Hard-hitting.</p><p>That's what every business wants to be. And that's why the U.S. Marines excel in every mission American throws at them, no matter how tough the odds.
