Quote on 'Management and Entrepreneurship'

QUOTE:

“Any existing organization, whether a business, a church, a labour union, or a hospital, goes down fast if it does not innovate.  Conversely, any new organization,  whether a business, a church, a labour union, or a hospital, collapses if it does not manage.  Not to innovate is the single largest reason for the decline of existing organisations.  Not to know how to manage is the single largest reason for the failure of new ventures.”
