Inhaltsangabe

Although it is impossible to include in one volume the full breadth of ideas under discussion in the area of strategic management, the editors have selected contributions that offer interesting food for thought in three currently crucial strategic conversations: Strategy - demonstrates the diversity of research topics in strategy. Structure - addresses how organizational structure can help/hinder corporate strategy. Style - management or corporate--is not often discussed directly in strategic management literature, though its presence and effects are pervasive. Strategy, Structure and Style addresses another of the Strategic Management Society's primary concerns--how to build and maintain bridges between management theory and business practice.

Strategy, Structure and Style Edited by Howard Thomas and Don O'Neal University of Illinois, USA Michel Ghertman HEC Graduate School of Management, France With competitive success dependent upon strategic issues such as cooperative efforts focused on organizational objectives, effective use of resources and managing change, the need for corporations to have explicit strategies is becoming ever more crucial. Although it is impossible for one volume to address the full breadth of ideas under discussion in the area of strategic management, the editors have selected contributions that offer interesting food for thought in three currently crucial strategic conversations:
* strategy - demonstrating the diversity of research topics in strategy, these chapters include discussions of trust between trade partners, CEO duality, excess capacity, dynamic strategies, distinctive competences and strategic windows
* structure - addressing how organizational structure can help/hinder corporate strategy, these chapters demonstrate how change should be implemented including issues such as strategic alliances, cognitive processes, the M-form organization, and a new theory of the firm
* style - argues the pervasive and profound effects of management style on the organization from the perspectives of the global manager, government policies, executive education, government leadership, reducing uncertainty/complexity and gaining management consensus.
Strategy, Structure and Style addresses another of the Strategic Management Society's primary concerns - how to build and maintain bridges between management theory and business practice.
