Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unified Theory of Business Strategy (UTBS) Successful businesses require strategic thinking, well-formulated goals and a clear approach to implementation. These are widely accepted as essential to business success. But describing these factors is not the same as making them happen. What corporate executives and business owners increasingly need is a practical, workable approach to business strategy that is supported by theory (but not drowned in it). That is where this book comes in. In Unified Theory of Business Strategy, Dr Rod Samimi combines theory and practice to give readers a solid understanding of how to formulate and implement a pragmatic business strategy. It includes a theoretical framework and applied interpretations, plus a detailed guide for compiling business plans. Using the Sentinel 9 multidisciplinary approach, the book configures an innovative way to look at business strategy.

Download or read book Economic Foundations of Strategic Management written by Mehmet Barca and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the extent to which economic theory is able to provide the theoretical foundations of strategic management. To this end it draws on the philosophy of science; microeconomic theory; and different approaches to strategic management. The work shows that many of the propositions of strategic management are deducible from the economic theories considered. It argues that these propositions should be made open to empirical testing and that a unified theory of strategic management should be developed. Thus the book addresses a current major concern of theorists - that strategy remains ’atheoretical’ and that this reduces the predictive power of the subject and hampers further theory development. The essential contribution made is that economic theory should be systematically explored in order to establish the foundations of business strategy.

Download or read book The Brand Gap written by Marty Neumeier and published by Peachpit Press. This book was released on 2005-08-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand-building. Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a “charismatic brand”—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you’ll learn: • the new definition of brand • the five essential disciplines of brand-building • how branding is changing the dynamics of competition • the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand • why collaboration is the key to brand-building • how design determines a customer’s experience • how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply • the importance of managing brands from the inside • 220-word brand glossary From the back cover: Not since McLuhan’s THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. Using the visual language of the boardroom, Neumeier presents the first unified theory of branding—a set of five disciplines to help companies bridge the gap between brand strategy and customer experience. Those with a grasp of branding will be inspired by the new perspectives they find here, and those who would like to understand it better will suddenly “get it.” This deceptively simple book offers everyone in the company access to “the most powerful business tool since the spreadsheet.”

Download or read book Unicist Business Strategy written by Peter Belohlavek and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unicist Strategy, developed by Peter Belohlavek, introduced a paradigm shift in strategy building that emulates the intelligence of nature, which always has a maximal strategy to grow and a minimum strategy to ensure survival. This approach includes the concept that "There are no strategies but strategists," because strategies begin to exist in the mind of the strategist. The discovery that human actions are driven by the concepts people have in their minds changed the approach to develop strategies. It requires managing the unicist concepts and fundamentals that underlie businesses because they are the root-causes of their functionality and define the possibilities to develop successful strategies. This book includes an introduction to the nature of unicist strategies, including the development of strategic intelligence, the basic laws of Unicist Business Strategy and market confrontation strategies among other concepts.

Download or read book Understanding Business Strategy written by Lourdesamy Iruthayasamy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book cuts through the strategy verbiage to get to the fundamentals of business strategy—its meaning, formulation, and implementation. Challenges to understanding strategy are examined, including institutions and national culture. Strategy theories are not just explained but assessed in terms of their validity, limitations, and applicability across countries, cultures, and organisations. The thinking and works of major strategists like Ohmae, Mintzberg, Porter, Rumelt, Barney, Prahalad, Hamel, Peng, Kim, and Mauborgne are reviewed in the context of strategic thinking, strategy formulation, and strategy implementation. The confusion and consensus in strategy are highlighted. While not prescriptive in terms of telling the corporate leader how to formulate strategy, for there is no one best strategy or one best way to formulate strategy, the book does identify broad approaches to corporate strategy formulation and implementation and the underlying principles. To this extent, corporate leaders and students and instructors of business and management will find the book informative and instructive.
