Strategic Thinking for the Next Economy

From the acclaimed MIT Sloan Management Review comes a compendium of cutting–edge thinking about corporate strategy. Focusing on strategic imperatives of the new economy, leading thinkers in the field present their views in four general areas: strategy and value creation; flexibility in a volatile world; strategy making in uncertain times; and strategies for growth in fast–paced markets. Strategic Thinking for the New Economy shows that designing a successful strategy is a never–ending quest–and that effective strategic thinking is a process of continuously asking questions and thinking through issues in a creative way. The book′s expert contributions include:
∗ Sumantra Ghoshal, Christopher A. Bartlett, and Peter Moran on managers creating values
∗ Henry Mintzberg and Joseph Lampel on the history of the strategy process
∗ Arnoldo C. Hax and Dean L. Wilde II on adaptive management
∗ Kathleen M. Eisenhardt on strategic decision making
∗ Richard T. Pascale on treating organizations as complex adaptive systems
