Some of my more recent blogs relate to my diagram above, being: 2020:...
“Een studie van PricewaterhouseCoopers (verschenen in Fortis Business Focus nr 2- summer 2005) toont aan dat 70 % van de overnames en fusies falen door menselijke aangelegenheden.” (bron, FSV, HFD, HRP, HSR, PWC, U-GENT-2005, UVT).
