Our book could not have been completed without the sage advice and enthusiasm of Steve Momper, Director of Darden Business Publishing at the University of Virginia. Steve believed in our book from the beginning and supported throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he introduced us to our publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
