The New Pioneers is about a powerful revolution that is reshaping the face of American business and creating an opportunity-rich economy. Tom Petzinger takes you inside this revolution to reveal how a dynamic generation of innovators and entrepreneurs is creating a collaborative new workplace, a value-added marketplace, and an economy overflowing with opportunity. These new pioneers recognize that the command-and-control hierarchy of the twentieth century is no longer responsive to the economic forces sweeping the globe. Petzinger draws from corporate case studies of companies in more than forty cities in thirty states, as well as accounts from overseas. His startling conclusions reveal not only a changing of the guard but far-reaching changes in the way business is being conducted.
