Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Given a case describing an issue concerning deregulation of the U.S. banking industry, managers completed questionnaires rating interpretations and responses to that issue.

The Potential For Work Redesign Within Contemporary Organizations, Chris Du Boulay
