Summary

"Strategy creation is about doing the right things; implementation is about doing things right. Both sides of the strategy equation must be aligned and managed well for today's organizations to succeed. Strategy draws on more than two decades of research and advice from leading thinkers to arm managers with the knowledge and hands-on tools they need to actively and confidently participate in strategy formulation and execution."--BOOK JACKET.
