Managing Strategy Implementation

Managing Strategy Implementation by Patrick C Flood

Strategy according to Percy Barnevik, Chairman of ABB is 10 per cent vision and 90 per cent execution. Yet standard textbooks of strategic management are decidedly light in terms of their treatment of the organisational issues which frequently derail change initiatives. This text on the implementation of strategy redresses the balance.

"As managers have increasingly come to recognize, implementation is the key to superior business performanceYet, most books on strategy continue to focus on the 'what to', while glossing over the 'how to'. This book admirably fills the gap. Both managers and management academics will find Managing Strategic Implementation very useful in thinking about the processes and tasks of translating strategy into effective organizational action." Sumantra Ghoshal, London Business School.
