Summary: In this book we will analyze a variety of situations faced by executives in their search for success, power and influence, status, money, or any of the countless other rewards that are a very special and personal reflection of their needs. I have characterized the corporation as a glittering casino where the executive can find, at almost every turn, situations that have all the allure and challenge, the risk, the mystery, and the payoff of games of chance. Many are more intriguing than anything Las Vegas could imagine.
