The Financial Times Guide to Strategy: How to Create and Deliver a Winning Strategy, Third Edition
by Richard Koch
Overview
“Most CEOs claimed that they wanted to spend about a third of their time on strategy. That’s about 80-days in a typical working year”. McKinsey Research, 2003.
A strategy is an essential tool in business. How do you know what you're doing without one? But what exactly is a good strategy? How do you get one? What are the options? Which are the key concepts and models you need to know about?
In the third edition of this easy-to-read and logically structured guide, Richard Koch leads the reader through each critical step in creating, delivering and understanding successful strategy. Beginning at the level of the business unit, where most everyday business activities are carried out, he shows us which questions to ask, how to go about answering them and what action to take as a result.
With an updated section on corporate strategy and an A-Z reference of strategy concepts, the FT Guide to Strategy is your guide to corporate success!
