Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic planning methodology is the application of strategic management theory to practice. This book is about the process of strategic management in action, and is firmly grounded, unlike many works on the subject, in both strategic management theory and empirical research. This is what planning professionals and strategic management scholars have long sought—a firm methodological connection between strategic management theory and its daily practice in management. This comprehensive reference handbook covers such critical issues as the application of information technology to planning; the roles and responsibilities of various parties, including the board of directors, CEO, COO, line managers, and planning managers; administrative management of the planning process; integration of near and long-term planning; assessment of the firm's external environment; and the planning manager's role in corporate restructuring, including acquisitions, divestments, mergers, alliances, and joint ventures.

Download or read book Research Methods for Strategic Management written by Giovanni B. Dagnino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of strategic management has developed significantly since its birth from "business policy" and "business planning" in the 1960s. Pioneering studies were essentially normative, prescriptive, and often based on in-depth case studies. The evolution of strategic management into a respected field of academic study resulted from the adoption of research methods previously employed in economics. Today, research in strategic management is likely to employ a mixture of methods borrowed from related and unrelated disciplines, such as politcal sciences, psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, which can be confusing to researchers new to the field. This book provides the reader with a broad introduction to the array of qualitative and quantitative research methods required to investigate strategic management. Throughout the book, strong emphasis is placed on practical applications that transcend the mere analysis of the theoretical roots of single research methods. The underlying result is a book that encourages and aids readers to "learn by doing" – in applying the implications of each chapter to their own research. This text is vital reading for postgraduate students and researchers focused on business strategy.

Download or read book Strategic Project Management Made Simple written by Terry Schmidt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Fortune Magazine estimated that 70% of all strategies fail, it also noted that most of these strategies were basically sound, but could not be executed. The central premise of Strategic Project Management Made Simple is that most projects and strategies never get off the ground because of adhoc, haphazard, and obsolete methods used to turn their ideas into coherent and actionable plans. Strategic Project Management Made Simple is the first book to couple a step-by-step process with an interactive thinking tool that takes a strategic approach to designing projects and action initiatives. Strategic Project Management Made Simple builds a solid platform upon four critical questions that are vital for teams to intelligently answer in order to create their own strong, strategic foundation. These questions are: 1. What are we trying to accomplish and why? 2. How will we measure success? 3. What other conditions must exist? 4. How do we get there? This fresh approach begins with clearly understanding the what and why of a project - comprehending the bigger picture goals that are often given only lip service or cursory reviews. The second and third questions clarify success measures and identify the risky assumptions that can later cause pain if not spotted early. The how questions - what are the activities, budgets, and schedules - comes last in our four-question system. By contrast, most project approaches prematurely concentrate on the how without first adequately addressing the three other questions. These four questions guide readers into fleshing out a simple, yet sophisticated, mental workbench called "the Logical Framework" - a Systems Thinking paradigm that lays out one's own project strategy in an easily accessible, interactive 4x4 matrix. The inclusion of memorable features and concepts (four critical questions, LogFrame matrix, If-then thinking, and Implementation Equation) make this book unique.
