Risk and Relevance: The Transformation of Canada's Co-operative Retailing System - Fairbairn, Brett

Clean, tight, unmarked; some handling to bottom edge near spine; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; This book is about change. Change in organizations. More specifically, change in a complex, multilayered system of organizations in Western Canada known as the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS). . Why would a tradition-rich, financially successful company suddenly start to change? The CRS is conducting what amounts to a great social-economic experiment. Will new generations of consumers, raised in the shadow of big-box and large-scale retail and mistrustful of institutions, remain interested in community and democratic values? The CRS is partway through reinventing itself to find out. This is a story of risk and relevance, and above all, the dilemmas and opportunities of change.
