Description: "Here is a comprehensive, authoritative, and magnificently entertaining anthology of literary reflections on the world of business in all its complexity and variety." "Minding the Store goes beyond charts, formulas, and case studies and gets to the heart of the matter: the agonies and triumphs of selling, the art of survival in the cutthroat world of the multinational conglomerate, the dismaying absurdities of office life - in short, the full spectrum of enigmas, ethical conflicts, and occasional moments of insight that animate the world of commerce."--BOOK JACKET.
