Chapter Six

Recommendations to International Business Associations, Chambers of Commerce, United Nation Agencies, Governments, Peace Missions, Relief Agencies, to sit down and work together on process management principles to settle human conflicts, due to self-centeredness of human beings and solve problems in a lasting and enduring manner as recommended.

Appendices: References to practical examples, I have used in my fields property/facility management, civil engineering/contract administration, salvage/marine/logistics operations.

(Potential: In the aftermath of Asian Financial Crisis 1997, US Sub-prime crisis 2007, and all the malpractices and scandals as unveiled in management of enterprises, why wait for another crisis. Time is of the essence and if the world fails to work, it will no doubt regret why it never comes across a book with practical process management like this to save the lives and works of billions)
