Book Description
Strategic Integration Edited by Howard Thomas and Don O’Neal University of Illinois, USA What a company might do; could do; wants to do; should do. These are the four elements of strategy which illustrate the integrative nature of strategic management. It quickly becomes apparent that the key to successful strategy is effective integration — of resources, competences, markets, opportunities, organizational structure, culture, environment, innovation, technology, processes, decisions and actions. There are four crucial areas of debate and these are covered in depth. They are:- Boards and Governance — suggests that no element of strategy is better positioned to influence strategy and its integration than senior management. Competition and Core Competences — examines their interdependence and relationship with successful strategy. Organizational Restructuring — discusses organizational types, IT and strategy, managing in a dynamic environment and measurement of strategic performance. Technology — demonstrates relationship between technological change and strategy, structure, culture, and competition; and the relationship between quality and strategy, and integrating technology and marketing strategies. Strategic Integration is concerned with building and maintaining bridges between theory and practice. On the research side it generates and tests theories related to business and management; and on the practitioner side it shows how to learn, understand, and apply tested theories in practice.

Book Description
Businesses need strategies that determine the direction of functioning and further development. If a company deals with several multifaceted businesses, each of them subsequently requires their own strategy. The issue of strategy creation and realization is a key factor that must receive the closest possible attention. In order to assure victory and be thoroughly prepared for various directions and situations that may arise, companies create their own unique strategies. This book is primarily aimed at suggesting the necessary repertoire of knowledge and skills for strategy creating with the help of the TASGRAM integrated system – Thinking, Analyzing, Strategy, Goals, Risks, Actions, and Monitoring. The main outcome of TASGRAM is a combined strategic table: business strategy, corporate strategy, goals, risks, actions, and monitoring. Each element in TASGRAM has a concrete goal and it helps users become more focused. Creating Business and Corporate Strategy: An Integrated Strategic System offers a new tool for company strategy creation, showcasing various cases and examples based on theory and practice. Unlike the existing tools, the suggested system of strategy creation is simpler and definite. Its main purpose is to help create and further develop the created strategy, making this book especially valuable to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of strategy, leadership, and management.

Book Description
Managerial and Organisational Integration discusses a wide range of issues considered pertinent to the more effective use of technology. A closer involvement between management and workforce can reduce tensions, improve the flow of information (both upward and downward), overcome bottlenecks in existing systems, and bring the capability of many minds to bear upon a problem or challenge. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the concept of "internal and external integration" and present ideas for effecting a wider amalgamation. Chapters 3 through 6 focus on the way new technologies can encourage fuller integration. Chapters 7 and 8 focus on the results of a national survey and examine the anatomy and intention of case studies. Chapter 9 offers the author's conclusion and forecast for the challenge ahead in this field. The rapid advances in new technology and the recognition of human resources as an important issue for all managers, training professionals and sociologists, will ensure a wide range of readership interest in this book.

Book Description
“Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness.
