The Seven Inconvenient Truths of Business Strategy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Seven Inconvenient Truths of Business Strategy is an antidote to a process of strategic planning that in many organizations is often sporadic, biased, poorly articulated and rarely implemented with total success. Drawing on a fundamental collection of definitive principles, the author offers a structure for strategizing; an indicator and explanation of strategic tools, and insights into collaborative techniques for carrying out the process successfully: formation, evaluation, alignment and implementation. It will help you ensure that your strategic process is always professional, relevant and timely. A case study, based on the story of Cadbury is woven through the chapters to provide a vibrant illustration of the value and application of the various techniques and processes described.
