But the most critical areas still: 1. managers should take more personal responsibility together with eliminating formality and hierarchical barriers; 2. customer orientation must become the most important action for sustainable business success of companies; 3. corruption must be eradicated, and zero tolerance approach not only by managers but also by public.
