3. ::Lean Thinking It is not enough anymore to work well around a conference table or in the laboratory; it is not enough to know how to build internal consensus and effective team decision making; it is not even enough to work well as a cross-functional team on concurrent engineering or horizontal processes.

The only way to survive is to manage the external environment . * Ancona, D., Kochan, T., Scully, M., van Maanen, S., Westney, D., 2009. Managing for the Future, South-Western
