Practicing Strategy is a groundbreaking new textbook focusing on the strategy-as-practice approach, which considers strategy not only as something an organisation has but something which its members do.
By bringing together a number of distinctive investigations of strategy practice, this book will enrich your understanding of the dynamic process through which organizational strategies are created and executed.
Key features:
- The first textbook to be based on insights from the strategy-as-practice perspective, making it an ideal core text for related modules
- Packed with real-life mini case studies and a final section containing longer cases from Apple, Centrica, Marconi, Lafarge and Wikimedia, relating theory to practice
- Chapters include learning objectives, summaries, discussion questions and further readings and a Companion Website contains additional online readings, to consolidate your learning and encourage in-depth analysis.
Practicing strategy is an invaluable text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of advanced strategy modules.
