Trade ReviewVery knowledgeable on this subject and has done excellent work in locating talent, compiling content, organizing ideas and presenting them well in this excellent work. Biz India Magazine A bold work whereby Bastedo and his colleagues attempt to span the scholarly chasm between higher education and organizational studies.
