These authors, theories, models and concepts have special relevance to different ^vMEMES, the process whereby ^vMEMEs are awakened, and how different ^vMEME’s spheres can best be led, managed, educated, and accommodated. While a few will be familiar classics, we have tried to introduce some newer works that are not part of the stock bibliographies of "business books."
