Improving strategy development: A more prominent role for the board
Abstract
Purpose
Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
We scan the top 400 management publications in the world to identify the most topical issues and latest concepts. These are presented in an easy‐to‐digest briefing of no more than 1,500 words.
Findings
Successfully negotiating our way through the minefield that is life comes down to choosing the correct pathways to take. Should we turn right, turn left or carry on straight ahead? If only we were blessed with the foresight to know. It's much the same in business, where choices made shape future performance and determine an organization's ability to seize new opportunities as they arise. Perhaps its no wonder that many companies view strategy development as one of their most important functions.
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
