CALL FOR PAPERS
ASIAN JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH
BUSINESS IATROGENESIS

net reduction in organizational efficacy relates to entities such as revenue, profit, market share, customer satisfaction, product value, competitive advantage, and ethical status;
efforts to solve relate to words and/or deeds; and a managerial identified problem could be intersubjectively certifiable or imaginary.
