Download or read book Situated Practices of Strategic Planning written by Louis Albrechts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world societies are facing a number of major problems. New developments, challenges and opportunities cause these issues and yet cases tell us that traditional spatial planning responses and tools are often insufficient to tackle these problems and challenges. Situated Practices of Strategic Planning draws together examples from across the globe – from France to Australia; from Nigeria to the United States, as it observes international comparisons of the strategic planning process. Many approaches and policies used today fail to capture the dynamics of urban/regional transformation and are more concerned with maintaining an existing social order than challenging and transforming it. Stewarded by a team of highly regarded and experienced researchers, this book gives a synthetic view of the process of change and frames future directions of development. It is unique for its combination of analysis of international case studies and reflection on critical nodes and features in strategic planning. This volume will be of interest to students who study regional planning, academics, professional planners, and policy makers.

Download or read book Developing International Strategies written by Rudolf Grünig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the development of strategies for the successful internationalization of large and medium-sized companies. Becoming international offers important opportunities for companies of all sizes, but in an increasingly complex environment, the strategic planning involved is also a challenge. The book addresses this, putting forward suggestions that allow large and medium-sized companies to profit from internationalization. After a comprehensive introduction to internationalization and strategic planning, the authors make clear recommendations, suggesting detailed processes for developing international strategies.

Lastly, it highlights the challenges faced by international companies and discusses useful decision processes.

Download or read book The International Corporate 1000 written by R. Whiteside and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Corporate 1000 represents a joint venture between Monitor Publishing Com pany of Washington, DC, and Graham & Trotman Limited of London. Monitor Publishing Company is well known as the publisher of The Federal Yellow Book, The Congressional Yellow Book, and The Corporate 1000. Graham & Trotman's annual directories providing data on the major companies in many parts of the world are equally established. The two publishing companies have pooled their expertise in this joint venture to research, compile and publish The International Corporate 1000, A Directory o/Who Runs The World's 1000 Leading Corporations. The directory was designed to help you identify and contact the senior executives who lead and manage these companies. Accordingly, you will find extensive, valuable detail about who does what, and how to reach them, but you will find little financial or statistical data. We have designed the book in this way because we believe there is a great need for an accurate and current executive directory, whereas a wealth of financial data is already available from many different sources. The organization of the directory is by key geographical region, then by major country within each region, and then alphabetically by company within each country.

Download or read book Scenario based Strategic Planning written by Burkhard Schwenker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world characterized by increasing complexity and volatility, managers must be able to flexibly adapt their strategies to changing environmental conditions. Traditional strategic management frameworks often fail in this context. Therefore, we present "scenario-based strategic planning" as a framework for strategic management in an uncertain world. Previous approaches to scenario planning were complex and focused on the long term, but the approach developed by Roland Berger and the Center for Strategy and Scenario Planning at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management is different. By designing appropriate tools and integrating scenario planning into strategic planning, we have made our approach less complex and easier for firms to apply. We illustrate the approach with examples from different industries.

Download or read book Business Planning for Digital Libraries written by Mel Collier and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together international experience of business planning for digital libraries: the business case, planning processes, costs and benefits, practice and standards, and comparison with the traditional library. Although there is a vast literature already on other aspects of digital libraries, business planning is a subject that until now has not been systematically integrated in a book. Digital libraries are being created not only by traditional libraries but also by museums, archives, media organizations, and any institution concerned with managing scientific and cultural information. Business Planning for Digital Libraries is designed for practitioners in the cultural and scientific sectors, for students in information sciences and cultural management, and in particular for people engaged in managing digital libraries and repositories, in electronic publishing and e-learning, and in teaching and studying in these fields.
