Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The rise of strategy as the framework through which companies understand what they’re doing and want to do has eclipsed any other change in the intellectual landscape of business over the past fifty years.
#2 The secret intellectual history of the new corporate world is as much about the challenges companies faced, from competing with the Japanese in the 1970s to surviving a crisis in the global financial system in the twenty-first century.
#3 The strategy revolution was led by management consultants, who were able to put together all the elements that determined a company’s corporate fate. They lacked a rigorous sense of the dynamics of competition, though.
#4 The book is an essay rather than a history, meaning it incorporates the personal observations of the author. It is an account of the ideas behind the strategy revolution, and it includes interviews with several of the lords of strategy.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The past fifty years have been especially rich with surprises for the corporate world, and this has led to the rise of strategy. Competition and competitiveness are so ingrained in our thinking that we forget how recent these discoveries are.

#2

The strategy revolution, which began in the 1970s, was the result of companies realizing that the effort would require unprecedented fact gathering and a multibillion-dollar consulting industry to deliver that expertise.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The history of the strategy revolution is a much simpler story than the history of the different concepts that made up it. It began with the coming of what I'll call Greater Taylorism, the corporation's application of sharp-penciled analytics not to the performance of an individual worker, but to the totality of its functions and processes.
