VALUE CREATION INSIGHTS - POWERPOINT OVERVIEW

 

Ideas from my latest book (available late 2025), Value Creation Insights: A Foundational Understanding of How Firms Build Knowledge and Create Value, are being incorporated in MBA classes at Florida State University and Georgia State University. For those teaching business classes/workshops who have an interest in using this book click here for a PowerPoint overview of the book that I use for presentations.
