What is a Regenerative Business?

All-in-all, the creative disruption advocated, identified, explained, and analyzed by Sanford makes The Regenerative Business a must-have in executive libraries but also a vital read for all kinds of administrators (an argument could be made that this kind of thinking is desperately needed in high education).
